# GramDirectory

> GramDirectory is a catalogue of public Telegram channels whose metrics — subscribers, average reach, engagement rate and posting frequency — are measured by scanning the channels themselves, not taken from what owners claim. Advertisers use it to pick channels by data; channel owners claim their page to get analytics, niche scouting, a cross-promotion exchange and an escrow-backed ad marketplace.

Every page exists in two languages: `/en/…` and `/ru/…`. Russian is the default (`x-default`) because the catalogue is predominantly Russian-language today; the English pages below all have a `/ru/` twin at the same path.

Around 1536 channels are listed publicly across 31 niches today.

## Catalogue

- [Catalogue by niche](https://gramdirectory.com/en/niches): Every niche of the catalogue with channel counts; the entry point to browsing.
- [Weekly niche digests](https://gramdirectory.com/en/digest): The best posts of a niche each week, ranked by measured reach rather than by reposts.
- [City event listings](https://gramdirectory.com/en/calendar): Events collected from local Telegram groups into one calendar, city by city.

## For channel owners

- [For channel owners](https://gramdirectory.com/en/grow): Growth through audience exchange instead of buying traffic, with measured metrics.
- [Starting a channel from scratch](https://gramdirectory.com/en/create): For practitioners — psychologists, lawyers, nutritionists — turning expertise into an audience.
- [Plans and pricing](https://gramdirectory.com/en/pricing): What each plan includes, what a one-off starter pack covers, and how payment works.

## For advertisers

- [For advertisers](https://gramdirectory.com/en/advertisers): Reach, engagement and momentum measured by us directly, not claimed by the channel owner.

## Notes

- Channel pages live at `/{lang}/channel/{username}` and niche pages at `/{lang}/niche/{slug}`.
- Metrics come from repeated scans over time, so each channel page carries a history and a period for every delta; a single measurement yields no delta at all.
- Restored (backfilled) figures are marked as such on the page: views of an old post are complete, views of a recent one are still accumulating.
