# Aqueduct

⚠️ This is a prototype software.

## Features

- Telegram account is not needed
- Channels can be grouped by tags
- When feed/tag is selected, post text is collapsed to the first paragraph and can be expanded on click, also works with shortcuts: `⌘ -`/`⌘ +`
- Built-in filter that removes Russian [foreign agent](https://meduza.io/en/feature/2021/04/26/meduza-is-a-foreign-agent-now-what-s-next) text (*ДАННОЕ СООБЩЕНИЕ (МАТЕРИАЛ)...*), can be turned off in Preferences (`⌘ ,`)
- Export (`⌘ E`) and import (`⌘ N`)

To quickly try it out, press `⌘ N` and paste to get some preset Telegram channels:
```markdown
