Midjourney's representation of a 2005 PC running MSN
You are browsing through some old personal backup archives and stumble upon an "msn" or "msn chats" folder... your mind recall things about wonderful times and people of when the Internet and social networks were still a fun place... you think "OMG that happened more or less 15 years ago! I was such a different person...".
Now you are curious to read that old messages and have fun of your younger self but then when you open the folder you find a bunch of .xml files, it's not difficult to open them, but between all those tags and data is difficult to properley read the messages text... and this is exactly what this tool is about!
Just copy & paste the XML content in this tool and have your old chat readable again in modern chat UI!

Sure, it is public with no authentication and no tracking, just paste your MSN .xml conversations as text in the box and click the button to see them converted in a beatiful and modern chat UI.
There is private section protected with a password that is only for me so that I can check my MSN backups easier without the need to access my .xml backups.
