I will delete this post in a few days.
I'm bumping the thread to notify I've moved the code onto GitHub, so if you have fixes/updates in it you can even apply them.
Topic: [Hiring] Skype Parser (Read 303 times)
I've implemented something. You can find the source code and the exe (for version 0.0.1) in this Dropbox folder on GitHub.
I've used Visual Studio 2017 to build it.
It's a bit basic, I'm not good at design, but it should do most of the job.
The date filter should work (if set).
The search would only highlight, not actually search in the data - I simply don't have big enough Skype data to test that, I may fake some data at a later point if you need it improved.
If you want anything changed/improved let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Edit: updated accessible link.

Interesting, I didn't know about this feature of Skype.
If it's not urgent (I may or may not make a first version this week-end) and you don't mind toinstall run a windows exe (I can give you the C# source code and instructions to build it yourself too), I can do it for free.
You said that you want your messages on the right side and other's on left. You didn't take into account the conversations with 3 or more parties and I am not sure how to display those (maybe everybody else on the left?)

It's not urgent and I also don't mind running a .exe if I have the source code for it (I'm familiar with C#). Thanks!
If it's a group conversation, then yes, everyone has to be on the left, except for me but you don't have to take that into consideration, as I'm not interested in reading any group chat.

Can you post sample data? Are you wanting to view conversations in your browser? Does this need to be used offline, or can js libraries be pulled in from the internet such as jquery?
So, Skype allows their users to export conversations now and also provide a downloadable parser/viewer (HTML page) that let you read the exported chat history (.json file).
Their parser works fine, except that it's very hard to navigate through it and read especially when you have thousands of messages.
Here is an example: Skype parser vs Skype UI. As you can see, when I'm reading the messages.json (my chat history) using the parser, it's very hard to tell which messages are mine because they're both on the same side (unless I check the username)... So I need someone who can build another parser where:
- My messages have to be on the right side, while the other's party msgs should be on the left (take Skype UI as an example).
- A search function on the chat (using a keyword).
- A filter. I want to read the chat for a specific timeframe.
If you're not familiar with Skype's new chat export feature, you can read about it/test it here.
If you think you can build this (especially the first feature), drop me a P.M with how much you're looking to be paid.
