Compile instructions and others

Hi @rajkumaar23

This is an excellent idea. I wonder if you can add additional instructions on compiling the project and generating .jar for anyone to develop and contribute.

Also, add the Contribution.md file. This will help people to contribute more to this work.

Chat ID Bot - have you checked the privacy of this chat id bot? Why do we need this bot to get your telegram user id? Isn't this available by looking at your profile already?

Yes, I will add instructions for building the app from source.

No, I am not sure of the privacy policy of that bot, however you are not sharing anything private to that bot in order to get your user ID. Can you think of a possible privacy violation in this case? 🤔

Unfortunately, the chat_id which is an integer does not get displayed on our user profile and it is what the /sendMessage API endpoint expects. It does not support the Telegram usernames which can be found on our profile.
