Marie/Rose News — Telegram Channel

Marie/Rose News is the developer's own changelog and status channel for Rose, a widely used Telegram group-moderation bot (and its earlier incarnation, Marie). Every post in the sample is written by the solo developer and falls into one of three buckets: feature releases, incident reports, or pricing/business updates — there is no unrelated content and nothing resembling general crypto or lifestyle blogging despite the “Blogs” category label.

The feature posts are unusually specific rather than vague marketing copy: new lock types (richmessage, outsidereaction, guestbot), a three-tier bot2bot permission system for controlling how other bots can trigger Rose's commands, support for Telegram's managed bots and rich-message formatting, and exact button syntax changes (buttonurl#success://). Each update also lists smaller fixes and a recurring note asking for Dutch-language crowdin contributors. Posting is irregular rather than scheduled — gaps between updates run from about two weeks to nearly two months, clustering around whenever Telegram ships a bot API change or the developer finishes a batch of work, not a fixed cadence.

The incident posts stand out for their honesty: a connection-limit misconfiguration that caused Rose to spam error messages, a Telegram-Hetzner network issue causing response delays, and a cache-service outage are all described with the actual root cause rather than a generic “we're aware of issues” line, and each is followed up once resolved. There are also two pricing posts introducing paid tiers (a $10/month Rose Core custom-instance plan and a $50/month Rose Premium plan) alongside the free public bot, and a milestone post marking Rose crossing one billion cumulative users since 2017.

This is a genuinely useful channel for anyone who runs a Telegram group with Rose or is deciding whether to pay for a custom instance: it explains what changed, why, and how to use new features, and gives early warning of outages instead of leaving admins guessing. It is not useful for anyone outside that specific audience — there is no discussion of Telegram bots in general, no crypto content, and no material unrelated to this one project.

What is missing is any editorial or third-party perspective: everything is the developer's own voice, so there is no independent review of how Rose compares to alternatives, and users have to trust the incident reports at face value. Best suited to active Rose group admins who want release notes and outage transparency straight from the source; skip it if you are not already using the bot.
