Cool, great to see people getting their data back from the cloud!

- https://github.com/fabianonline/telegram_backup : tool for incremental Telegram exports into sqlite database, I've been using it for several years with no issues. From a quick glance, code in chatistics isn't incremental and going to require redownloading everything? Perhaps it makes sense to adapt telegram_backup output database to chatistics and benefit from existing tools.
Also, I've got a python package that's kind of my personal API [0], so I just tried to demonstrate how would similar analysis look for me using my.fbmessenger module [1]. Not as pretty as in chatistics, but just few lines of code. The hardest bit, of course, is encapsulating all the complexity of message processing in my. package.
