## How It Works
Bettergram uses the Telegram API and open source code with a few modifications to provide users with a more organized interface. Just like Telegram, you can use your existing account or create a new account through their servers.

## Why We Built It
Telegram is an essential part of our lives as tech entrepreneurs. Over 200+ million monthly active users love the app, but we believed it could be better. Thankfully, Telegram is 100% open source which allowed us to build an improved UI/UX on top of their API.

## Setup Project on the Mac
1. Clone the iOS project with its submodules using SSH way

   ```
   $ git clone --recursive git@github.com:bettergram/Bettergram-iOS.git
   ```
   
   If you want to update the submodules in already cloned repository use the following command:

   ```
   $ git submodule update --init --recursive
   ```
   
   If you want to update the submodules to the latest versions you can use the following command:

   ```
   $ git submodule update --recursive --remote
   ```
2. Add `config.h` file on the level above the root project's folder

   ```
   Bettergram-iOS/... //all project's files in the root
   config.h // Required to add
   ```

   `config.h` contains next lines:

   ```
   #define SETUP_TELEGRAM_API_ID(apiId) apiId = ...;
   #define SETUP_TELEGRAM_API_HASH(apiHash) apiHash = @"...";
   
   #define SETUP_MAILCHIMP_API(key) key = @"...";
   #define SETUP_MAILCHIMP_CRITICAL_NEWSLETTER_LIST_ID(key) key = @"...";
   #define SETUP_MAILCHIMP_CRYPTO_NEWSLETTER_LIST_ID(key) key = @"...";
   ```

3. Create Debug and Release configurations for SSignalKit (this's a submodule we can't push it)

4. To build the project for a real device or to archive change Signing Automatically & Team None for SSignalKit and MtProtoKit (these are submodules so we can't push it)
