Hey everyone, hi there! I made a VK reader
For a long time, I’d been planning to develop a VK page archive reader based on one I’d created before deleting my account two years ago. It was already possible to read conversations in the archive via index.html, but it lacked pagination and had no way to search for messages. With Claude’s help, I developed a super-convenient KMP app that runs on any device (and even in a browser—here’s the link: https://vkviewer.normno.ru).
Thanks to Wasm, you can easily run a web app that uses only the user’s resources. No tracking metrics or backdoors—everything is local, but runs in the browser. Builds for Android, Windows, and macOS are already available for download on my website.
You can also find descriptions of all the app’s features there.
I’ve already managed to find a lot of important posts and photos that were stored only on my VK account.
If you want to see how the app works, you don’t have to download your own archive. The app already includes a demo archive with data that opens with a single tap on the home screen.
