Tired of slow web pages full of ads? Wouldn't be better if all links were Instant View's?. Well, this Bot can transform almost any link into an Instant View, keeping only meaningful information, just forward a link to it. If you add the bot to a group, it will try to transform any encountered link into an Instant View. It uses Mozilla's Readability Tool for extracting web content and https://telegra.ph/ to host that new content.
Just remember, Readability and Telegraph are not perfect. Readability can skip some images/videos. Telegraph can't handle tables. For those cases, each Telegraph article have link to original article in order to quickly switch to original web page.
Hopefully these drawbacks will be solved in the future by using Chrome's Readability engine and by generating images of tables for telegraph.
