Telegram Main Mini App
A bot configuration where the launch-button opens a full-screen mini-app by default instead of a chat. Set via @BotFather, exposed as bot_has_main_app=true in the public profile. Main-app bots feel app-native — a tap from search, sponsored ad or share-card lands directly in the mini-app, no chat-thread context. Tracked on /miniapps leaderboard with niche filters, Stars rating and MAU sparkline.
