Why it's useful for homelab users

Homelab users who share their Jellyfin server with friends or family often manage access manually. This tool automates that process by tying Jellyfin access to Telegram channel membership — when someone joins the channel, they get Jellyfin access; when they leave, access is revoked. This is particularly useful for community-run media servers where Telegram is already the primary communication platform.
