What Hacker News says
5 sourcesThe Telegram web client uses all sorts of features and a reimplementation of React.
> The project incorporates lots of technologically advanced features, modern Web APIs and techniques: WebSockets, Web Workers and WebAssembly, multi-level caching and PWA, voice recording and media streaming, cryptography and raw binary data operations, optimistic and progressive interfaces, complicated CSS/Canvas/SVG animations, reactive data streams, and so much more.

The dev is pretty much a genius.

In Telegram: Payments 2.0, Scheduled Voice Chats, New Web VersionsThe web apps are super interesting. Its light and fast. On par with the desktop client. Meanwhile, Facebook Messenger takes eons to load, Discord's web client's initial load will hog up my CPU. It will be interesting to see the technology behind this.
