I have built the Telegram commandline client for the Pandora. In case you don't know it, Telegram is an instant messaging application, pretty similar to WhatsApp. The main advantages over WhatsApp are:

- Telegram is free (as in beer, but also as in freedom). Protocols are open and clients are GPLv2.

- Communications are encrypted, and also end to end encryption is supported.

- You can use it on Android and iOS devices, but there are also unofficial clients for PCs (and as it's open, you can build it for raspberry pi powered toaster if you want).

If you want to use the Pandora telegram-cli client, make sure to read the documentation, or at least type "help" in the prompt and read the available commands. Also make sure you are connected to the Internet before starting it, or it will instantly close.

Download it from the repo.
 
Updated. Main new feature is that non english characters and emoticones are properly displayed.
 
How do I view an image? I know I need the message number, but the client doesn't list numbers, and trying to add -N to the shell script breaks the PND.
