To use as a library

use std::{
  io::{stdout, Write},
  time::Duration,
};

use aerostream::Client;
use anyhow::Result;
use chrono::Local;

fn main() -> Result<()> {
  let mut client = Client::default();
  client.set_timeout(5);
  client.connect_ws()?;
  for (filter, event) in client.next_event_filtered_all()?.iter() {
    let Some(commit) = event.as_commit() else {
      continue;
    };
    let posts = commit.get_post_text();
    if posts.is_empty() {
      continue;
    }
    let text = posts.join(" ").replace("\n", " ");
    let time = commit.time.with_timezone(&Local).format("%m/%d %H:%M");
    let handle = match client.get_repo(&commit.repo) {
      Ok(r) => r.handle.clone(),
      _ => String::from("UNKNOWN"),
    };
    let blobs = commit
      .blobs
      .iter()
      .map(|b| b.to_string())
      .collect::<Vec<_>>();
    print!("{} : {} : {} : {}", filter, time, handle, text);
    if !commit.blobs.is_empty() {
