Telegram Mini App Boilerplate (template, starter-kit) for Cursor / Windsurf

Want to know how to build a Telegram Mini App without wasting months on setup? This boilerplate is your shortcut. Designed for Cursor and Windsurf, it gives you a clean, working foundation for any Telegram Web App project. Everything works out of the box: routing, user login, notifications, database, error handling, and clean UI.

What's Telegram Mini App (TMA)?
A Telegram Mini App is a web application deeply integrated inside the Telegram messenger using Telegram’s WebApp API. It runs within the Telegram client—on mobile or desktop—accessing built-in authentication, user profiles, and seamless bot interaction. TMAs are ideal for expanding bot functionality with rich interfaces and advanced logic—without sending users outside Telegram.

Why this is better than any “Telegram Mini Apps tutorial”

• Works seamlessly inside Telegram WebApp (not just in browser).
• Built-in router keeps navigation inside your Mini App (no unexpected Telegram viewer pop-outs).
• Automatic user login and registration included — perfect for any Telegram bot mini app.
• Optimized architecture so you can create a Telegram Mini App in days, not months.
