Building TgDraw: WebApp giveaways, polls and quizzes for Telegram
TgDraw started as a simple idea: make Telegram activities easier to run and nicer for people to participate in.
Telegram channels and groups already use giveaways, polls and quizzes all the time. But most tools focus on only one format. I wanted to build one Telegram-first product where an admin can launch different types of activities from the same bot, and participants can join through a clean WebApp interface.
Right now TgDraw supports three main formats:
Giveaways
Admins can run subscription-based giveaways, check if participants are subscribed to selected channels, choose winners with a built-in randomizer, set multiple winners, export participant data and add custom stickers so the activity fits the style of the channel or brand.
Polls
Polls work through a Telegram WebApp and support different answer formats: single choice, multiple choice, text answers, rating, NPS and contact fields. Admins can choose a visual theme, collect responses, export results and use the poll either for feedback, research, lead collection or simple audience engagement.
Quizzes
Quizzes also run through the WebApp. They support different answer formats, correct answers, points, contact fields, visual themes and result export. The ending can be adjusted depending on the goal: collect results, pick random winners among participants or give a promo code.
The product is already live. The bot, WebApp flows, website, localization and payment logic are in place. Now I’m working on improving onboarding, positioning, visual materials and the first user acquisition channels.
TgDraw is still bootstrapped, so feedback, introductions to Telegram communities, or support from people who find the product useful really helps the project move faster.
I’m especially interested in feedback on positioning:
Is it clear what TgDraw does from the first description?
Which audience would you focus on first: Telegram channel admins, creators, brands, shops, education projects or community managers?
Should the product be positioned mainly around giveaways, or should WebApp polls and quizzes become the main angle?

From the positioning angle, I’d lead with the first high-intent job: “run a Telegram giveaway without messy manual checks,” then use polls/quizzes as the expansion story.
The reason is that giveaways usually have urgency and a visible before/after for channel admins: subscription check, random winners, export, branded flow. Polls, NPS/contact fields, and quizzes feel more like retention/learning tools once an admin already trusts the bot.
One small test: make onboarding ask “what are you trying to do this week — grow subscribers, collect feedback/leads, or run an educational quiz?” and route each answer to a template. The template choice may show which audience/positioning is pulling hardest.
Thanks for the feedback! You’re totally right about leading with giveaways — it’s definitely the biggest pain point for admins. The onboarding test with templates is also a great idea. I'll definitely think about how to use this.
I like that you're questioning whether the product should lead with giveaways or with the broader platform.
When one product solves several related workflows, the hardest decision is often which job earns the first user. Positioning around the workflow with the strongest recurring need usually makes expanding into the others much easier later.
Thanks for reading and for the feedback!
