I need help with a telegram bot made with the grammY keyboard.
I am struggling to make the grammY javascript based Telegram bot work. I want a bot that has 1) start menu that has a welcome message and ‘main menu’ button. 2) when the main menu button is opened 4 buttons appear each with custom text and 4 sub menus for each. the sub-menus need to be able to be closed with a ‘close button’ but i am struggling with the middleware to make it work at the moment
