WhatsApp Stats Parser


While talking with a friend, a question arose of just how active a particular student organization group chat is in terms of unique active participants and number of messages, so I wrote a script to parse a WhatsApp chat export text file (using regular expressions) to determine the chat's activity within a week. It was further suggested to me to count messages per sender so we could rank participant activity in the chat. An additional feature to create a bar graph of the results was contributed to the project by another friend, GitHub user cmdshftateya. This little project turned out to be a lot of fun!
