OpenVK Project<p>OpenVK Legacy is now in the official F-Droid repository</p><p>Since we are an open source project, it was just a matter of time before we got to F-Droid (<a href="https://f-droid.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">f-droid.org/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>), the FOSS applications directory. The applications there are independently rebuilt from source code, which guarantees the reproducibility of the build process. In addition, updates are available to F-Droid users.</p><p>Our repository is also available at <a href="https://repo.openvk.uk/repo/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">repo.openvk.uk/repo/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> (or <a href="http://repo.openvk.co/repo/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="">repo.openvk.co/repo/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>)</p>
OpenVK Project<p>😳 We also shipped recently a major update to web version: introducing polls.</p><p>You can now ask your subs for opinions on different… stuff. While the polls are still in early stage of development, you already can:<br />• create polls with up to 10 answer options ✨<br />• make them anonymous 🤫<br />• disable vote retraction (quiz mode) 🔐<br />• set expiration time ⏳</p><p>Multiple choices are available as well. We plan to gradually extend functionality of polls in the nearest future (implement vk api + fix some bugs).</p>
OpenVK Project<p>Previously, in OpenVK it was impossible to understand where exactly a person posted his post (unless, of course, you click on the link &quot;on the wall&quot;). </p><p>In the latest update we have fixed this, now next to the name of the author you can see the name of the community/user on whose wall it is written.</p><p>For the more curious people, we also added pop-ups, which show the avatar and description when hovered over. The same pop-ups also work for the signatures under the post.</p>
OpenVK Project<p>Did you accidentally leave your phone at your friend&#39;s house and he started texting obscene things on your behalf? </p><p>There is a way out - there is a magic button on the site, &quot;End all sessions&quot;, which exits all devices from your account (except the one you&#39;re sitting from right now).</p><p>With this button and the account is safe, and the person does not have time to write any nasty things.</p>
OpenVK Project<p>🤔 Did you know that you can use OpenVK on older cell phones?</p><p>Not so long ago we adapted our API for VK4ME client, and the developer in return added official OpenVK support.</p><p>So get your old cell phone out of your drawer, install VK4ME (you can get the latest version here - <a href="http://vk4me.crx.moe/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="">vk4me.crx.moe/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>) and test it!</p><p>The client does not work much (for example, not open documents or history of dialogue), but still we will be glad to your bug reports and pull requests.</p>
OpenVK Project<p>📱 We remind you that a mobile app for older Android versions no older than 2.1 (written in Java) is in development right now, running on top of a compatible VK API.</p><p>🥺 If you want to speed up application development, then:</p><p>🧑‍💻 Finalize our product API via Pull Requests, you can see the bare API here - <a href="https://github.com/openvk/openvk/tree/master/VKAPI" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/openvk/openvk/tree/</span><span class="invisible">master/VKAPI</span></a>.</p><p>👹 Create your own versions of the application - for example for Symbian or even on React + VKUI.</p><p>You can find the API documentation here - <a href="http://docs.openvk.su/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="">docs.openvk.su/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>.</p>
OpenVK Project<p>We&#39;ve released Public Technical Preview 4!</p><p>Many features were planned for this release, but due to the outbreak of war in Ukraine, as well as some developers&#39; exams, only 4 of the 23 goals were accomplished. Yet, it doesn&#39;t mean there weren&#39;t any changes to OpenVK, just many of them were unplanned ones. It&#39;s been 5 months since the last release, and 290 commits have been made in that time.</p><p>Please note that PTP versions are still not recommended for production use.</p><p><a href="https://github.com/openvk/openvk/releases/tag/public_preview_4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/openvk/openvk/relea</span><span class="invisible">ses/tag/public_preview_4</span></a></p>
OpenVK Project<p>Messages receive a brush up at last!</p><p>😍 Made our layout design for conversation list and messaging app normal and socially-acceptable<br />😎 Added some pagination: now you don&#39;t have to limit yourself with 10 last conversations<br />😈 Completely and firmly redesigned our dialogue view</p>
OpenVK Project<p>Welp, for some reason none of the project members posted anything relevant from this account since January. I&#39;ll briefly list that has changed during this time.</p><p>- Time zone adaptation<br />- Email verification<br />- Converting votes to rating<br />- Image optimization<br />- Adaptive video cropping<br />- Modified hashtag behavior<br />- Changing the email address<br />And a couple of other minor changes.</p><p>We are also working on audios, reports, profile deletion and Android client. Stay tuned.</p><p>- dsrev</p>
OpenVK Project<p>We rewrote the rules of our instance</p><p>Yes, they exist. Now they are are simpler and clearer. Links to openvk2.veselcraft.ru were also removed and an English translation was added.</p><p>You can read them here: <a href="https://openvk.su/about" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">openvk.su/about</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
OpenVK Project<p>OpenVK now supports two-factor authentication (2FA)</p><p>You can now protect your profile not only with a complex password, but also with the help of a new feature - two-factor authentication. It can be used even without internet. To do this, you need a code generation app. For example, Google Authenticator for Android and iOS or FOSS Aegis and andOTP for Android.</p><p>And when you log into your account, the site will require a code that was generated by the application to generate codes</p>
OpenVK Project<p>Two little changes by <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://c.im/@vc" class="u-url mention">@<span>vc</span></a></span>:<br />🙈 Zeros aren&#39;t shown in like/repost counters anymore.<br />🔢 Pagination was updated so last pages can be easily accessed.</p>
OpenVK Project<p>Now status can be changed right on your page!</p>
OpenVK Project<p>We&#39;ve fixed the strange behavior where the result was not immediately visible while changing the skin. Now skin is applied as soon as you click the &quot;Save&quot; button in the settings.</p>
OpenVK Project<p>👥 Groups update: coadmins are now visible to other users in a separate section, unless this feature is disabled by owner. Also group owners may now be hidden 🕵️‍♀️.</p>
OpenVK Project<p>Due to rapid popularity our main instance is temporarily down. We will be able to migrate to new hosting on 25th of October.</p>
OpenVK Project<p>Pop-up Notifications: Now in Action!</p><p>Remember our lil&#39; popups we added a few commits ago? Now they can serve their initial purpose: deliver important notifications from network straight to the browser. Likes, comments and many other things can now be seen in pop-up notifications thanks to OpenVK&#39;s brand new Apache Kafka integration.</p>
OpenVK Project<p>Pop-Up Notifications.</p><p>The ability to show notifications has been added to the source code. At the moment it is only shown after reposting. In the future, we&#39;re going to add a live notification for likes, new comments, or, eventually, friend request accepts.</p>
