What Anomm does
Anomm splits anonymous messaging between a website and a bot. You register on anomm.pushkaryadav.in by starting @anomm_bot and entering your Telegram username; the site then generates a personal web link and the bot sends it to you as well. Whoever opens the link writes a message on a web page, and it arrives in your chat with the bot.
The practical upside is that senders do not need Telegram at all. That makes Anomm handy beyond personal "ask me anything" posts: its author suggests putting the link on community forms to collect reviews and suggestions, or on a confession page. The site says the service is free with unlimited messages per account and that messages are not stored, only passed straight through to Telegram.
Anomm is a hobby project by developer Pushkar Yadav, and the full source is on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 licence, so anyone can check how it works or run their own copy. The flip side is maintenance: the repository has not been updated since March 2023, and there is no support channel beyond a contact form on the site. It is a neat tool for low-stakes feedback, but not something to build an important workflow on.

FAQ
Does the person sending me a message need Telegram?
No. Your link opens a web page where anyone can type a message; only you, the recipient, need Telegram to read it in the bot chat.
Does Anomm keep my messages?
The site says it does not store messages or data and passes them straight to Telegram. The code is public on GitHub, so this can be checked, but there is no formal privacy policy.
