Skyper

[Jefis]

Hello there fellow developers. I recently made quite a progress in developing skype for WP7.
I want to share my current progress with you, so maybe someone will want to join this little project, which, in future will be released for free, and probably with source code .

I'm not designer, as you will see from the screenshots, but, if you are, and want to join this effort in making skype, contact me asap.

nice work
i'm waiting for release

 

[_calum_]

I'm not really a designer myself, but I'm pretty experienced with WPF/Silverlight programming, and I'm always up for a bit of open source work.

PM me if you want me to help out.

I second that.

I don't have much free time but i'd love to contribute to this project.
I've got some experience in Silverlight/WPF programming, so there should be several points where i can help out.

I've more on the development side as well but I've been doing lots of work with the notification system in wp7 and am happy to help out.

Pm me i could be useful.

this is great it should remain a sideload project though? Skype probably would not like it, or will they?

Anyway very very usefull and nice idea! If I would have some time I would love to help. Or at least test and bugfix and **** I'm not an educated designer, I'm just a perfectionist and hate ugly apps

nice job man!

I made a quick mockup about how the message thing can look.

I thought about just having 2 pivots or panorama pages with a contact list like you have now select a contact and swype t the left to chat with this person swipe to the right click a diffrent contact now it loads the chat of that contact. So that you will always have just 2 pivot pages, otherwise you might get lost if you have multiple people chatting at the same time

I made a mockup of how your conversations can look in metro style. Idk if you like it. I made it quickly the icons etc. are but ugly but just to get an idea. All the images are just copy and pasted from skype and wp7 haha so it was just pretty simple and wont pass the marketplace (not with the skype header at least).
It very similar to what you already made with the contactlist and just a logical next step of your work. I could code the layout for it for you ,but I dont think its that hard to code this design or to get these images.

(Ow and yeah the credits in the sample text is towards you ofcourse, great job, great project man!)

[Chicow]

[compnews]

as author respond me, private beta will be after 1 week, but public will be released after 2 weeks. :s

 

[TheOnly1]

Any news on the progress of the app? Skype is one of the very few things I really miss on WP7 and to be honest chat is more than enough for me

 

[djcedric]

if you need a designer,im in to help you,just ask

 

[stylopath]

Again, I want to offer my help to the OP.

Coding C#/XAML is not a problem to me - But I'm not a good UI-Designer

 

[zinty]

Maybe i can help

Hey, i can make icons and layout for you, and i have some knowledge too, beside am in for beta testing. PM me in anyway you want me to help in coding and designing some icons too.

 

[the_scotsman]

I have deleted all of the "I want to beta test" posts...the OP did not ask for beta testers, he asked for developers.

I'm sure he will ask for beta testers when he is ready, so no more of these posts please.

 

[Jefis]

Thanks for the support.
I think that Skyper application will be delayed for a while.
Not sure how long, but, we are working on it.
Just recently implemented avatar support, enjoy!.
