telegrust-histo

Why? I was curious, and Python proved too slow1 at parsing timestamps, although the plot looks nicer there.

Install:

```bash

install telegrust-histo with cargo,

provided that you have the rust toolchain set up.

cargo install telegrust-histo ```

Usage:

```bash

cd to wherever your exported folder is

cd ~/Downloads/Telegram\ Desktop/ChatExport_2021-01-15

print options

telegrust-histo -help

run it

telegrust-histo -b 300 -v ```

Demo:

```sh ~/ChatExport2021-01-15> time telegrust-histo -b 200 # time is optional btw of course [+] Generated histogram200.svg (using 200 bins) in the current folder.
