GramJS library with fixes and improvements is used as MTProto Layer 105 implementation. A short list of improvements:
- WebWorkers support;
- BigInt polyfill (Safari support);
- Improved Factorization, 2FA and other crypto functions, etc.

Secure WebSockets (WSS) is used as a transfer protocol. The app supports updates from MTProto.

The approach of React-inspired Functional Components written in JSX is taken for the UI design. The app has its own implementation of Virual DOM with incremental updates which is connected with MTProto by the ReactN-inspired global state manager.

The mingzipped source code is 33 kb.

Important information for referees. Unfortunately, the latest build may not work for non-DC2 users. Please use DC 2 to sign in if it is possible. We are sorry for that last-minute issue.

Скорость работы приложения оказалась критически низкой – долгая загрузка на старте, долгий переход в аккаунт после ввода облачного пароля.

Часть конкурсного задания не выполнена – регистрация не реализована. Некоторые облачные чаты могут не отображаться в списке бесед.
Google Chrome 78.0.3904, macOS 10.15.2

I see that Jolly Cobra's solution here https://contest.com/javascript-web/entry1091 is using the same `teact` lib implementation as you do. Is it just the same person submitting twice? Have posted similar comment there. Sorry if I'm missing something here.

Yes, we submitted two solutions with different MTProto implementations. This one is using improved GramJS library (which is based on Telethon), another one is using Tdweb.

The page for entering the phone number the same as in this app https://contest.com/javascript-web/entry1091. There is no possibility to check other pages.

Same issue as Sacred Parrot. Perhaps you need to update your version of GramJS?
