Due to an increase in requests for page deletion through support, we have decided to stop processing such requests, except for compelling reasons (e.g. life-threatening or so-called “doxxing”). This consumes our time and slows down the deletion of the user's page itself.

It is forbidden to abuse this. If every second request to our support for this reason, we will ignore such requests altogether.

Despite all this, your page can always be deleted via one button in the settings.

OpenVK Legacy is now in the official F-Droid repository

Since we are an open source project, it was just a matter of time before we got to F-Droid (f-droid.org/), 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.

How to install:
0. If you already have OpenVK Legacy installed, uninstall it. The signature of the versions from F-Droid is different, which blocks installation over builds from other sources.
1. Download the F-Droid app (f-droid.org/F-Droid.apk).
2. Find OpenVK Legacy in the directory and install it.

Note that updates in the catalog appear with some delay (1-2 days) and first-hand builds are available in our channel (t.me/+C0SDKSrbc2ViYWJi) or our own repository (repo.openvk.co/repo/) (HTTPS - repo.openvk.uk/repo/).

? We also shipped recently a major update to web version: introducing polls.

You can now ask your subs for opinions on different… stuff. While the polls are still in early stage of development, you already can:
• create polls with up to 10 answer options

• make them anonymous ?
• disable vote retraction (quiz mode) ?
• set expiration time

Multiple choices are available as well. We plan to gradually extend functionality of polls in the nearest future (implement vk api + fix some bugs).

Previously, in OpenVK it was impossible to understand where exactly a person posted his post (unless, of course, you click on the link "on the wall").

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.

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.

Did you accidentally leave your phone at your friend's house and he started texting obscene things on your behalf?

There is a way out - there is a magic button on the site, "End all sessions", which exits all devices from your account (except the one you're sitting from right now).

With this button and the account is safe, and the person does not have time to write any nasty things.

Apps

There's a new section on the site - Applications.
And after that you probably immediately ran to upload your games and applications to the site, but don't rush with it...

Why?
Because the app is now just a site that opens in OpenVK itself (that is, it is an IFrame insert). Flash support will be added later.

Then what can they do?
- You can run the application and add it to yourself
- The app can use the API (only after receiving permission from the user)
- Publish entries on the wall on your behalf (again, after full approval from the user)
- Request votes to perform any action.

For more details about the API for applications and other things click here - github.com/openvk/openvk/pull/674

"Social media is a useful tool, but it happens to take up more time than you can afford."

You may ask us, what was the point of the text above just now? And the point is that we have implemented a function to delete a profile.

We love and appreciate our users, but there are those who may not like the site or just want to stop using the site for a certain period of time. We do not protect you from this in any way - you have every right to do so. In the past, it was possible to request a complete deletion of an account through support, but now things are getting a lot easier.

This function can be found in the settings. Before we delete your account, we'll ask you to answer one thing that we want to make the site better. But before the account is completely deleted, you have a period of time in which you can change your mind and restore everything back.

Still, stay with us, sunshines ??

? Did you know that you can use OpenVK on older cell phones?

Not so long ago we adapted our API for VK4ME client, and the developer in return added official OpenVK support.

So get your old cell phone out of your drawer, install VK4ME (you can get the latest version here - vk4me.crx.moe/) and test it!

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.

? We remind you that a mobile app is in development right now, running on top of a compatible VK API.

One version of the application is being developed specifically: Legacy - for older Android versions no older than 2.1 (written in Java).

? If you want to speed up application development, then:

?‍? Finalize our product API via Pull Requests (there's even a chance to get on the development team!), you can see the bare API here - github.com/openvk/openvk/tree/master/VKAPI.

? Create your own versions of the application - for example for Symbian or even on React + VKUI, still expand the user base will be useful.

You can find the API documentation here - docs.openvk.su/.

While I'm eating porridge, it's worth talking about new small innovations:
* Names have been temporarily restricted. Now only Cyrillic and Latin are allowed. Temporarily, because at the moment I'm too lazy to fix it, because this innovation was made by Celestora. And because of this innovation, the ability to NOT use surnames also fell off. Today I returned it.
* And I also added the "hometown" field, because in the database the value with it hung like a lone star, so I decided not to listen to Mitasov, and still pick a star to hang it on the "editing" page in the "main" tab.

We are releasing Public Technical Preview 3!
To motivate developers and understand the progress we have made, we are returning to the practice of releasing regular Public Technical Previews. The previous Public Technical Preview was released about a year and a half ago and since then we pushed over 800 new commits into the repository. A full list of changes can be read here (github.com/openvk/openvk/compare/public_preview_2...public_preview_3).

Therefore, we are happy to announce that we are releasing the third (github.com/openvk/openvk/releases/tag/public_preview_3) preview! This event does not directly affect the main instance (all changes will appear there immediately), but it will be quite convenient for those who want some stability (although be warned, OpenVK itself is not yet considered stable).

The more valuable role of these releases is that we plan to write various features on the site in advance, which brings some clarity to what will be implemented next. So, for example, here (github.com/openvk/openvk/milestone/2) you can see our plans for Public Technical Preview 4, which will be released in early May.

Also, releases are a good opportunity to look back and see what we managed to implement. Thanks to this, we see that the development does not stand still, but is actively moving forward (although there is no music yet).

Once again, thanks to everyone who contributed to our project, to those who use our site. And for those who, thanks to the release, found out about our project, we invite you to stay, because we have not yet reached the end.

OpenVK now supports two-factor authentication (2FA)

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.

And when you log into your account, the site will require a code that was generated by the application to generate codes
