vk

A console (ncurses) client for vk.com written in D

Project is abandoned

vk-cli is mostly abandoned due to lack of time, very poor state of codebase (which definitely needs to be rewritten from scratch) and mainly - due to vk politics which becomes worse from day to day, starting from music, online and ending with advertisements in newsfeed. So we (devs) won't continue to support this project.

If you're looking for a way to not use actual vk.com but want to save ability to get content from there, there's some projects from us such as vktotg tool which helps to reupload music from your page to private channel in telegram, and planned news aggregator, which will anonymously (without your access_token) gather news from public pages you interested in, and forward it to the destination you prefer (telegram bot, e-mail, etc)

But if you just want CLI client for vk - we can't help with it anymore :)
