Handing over 15 million gadget developers

Time in self-isolation was redistributed: someone began to work hard even more than before, but many still had a couple of free hours. We are finally returning to what was put off the shelf, including online education.

Self-development is what we love and are always ready to support. Therefore, we are launching the VK Fresh Code program - educational courses and grants totaling 15 million rubles for those who want to learn how to create mini-applications or already do them.



What is the use of these gadgets?


We believe that VKontakte gadgets are the future. They help with any business: order food and call a taxi , find a job and take some time to shop , have a fun quiz and visit a virtual tour .

At the same time, with gadgets you do not need:

  • to clog the phone’s memory - services are opened inside VKontakte;
  • enter your data over and over - just one click to allow access to information from the profile;
  • taking screenshots or messing around with links to send something interesting to friends - sharing gadgets is as easy as using any other VK content.

We have not forgotten about the developers:

  • the documentation is open - everything you need is in the community of the platform on which the services are created - VK Mini Apps ;
  • a huge number of tools - it will turn out to realize any idea;
  • click-through audience - catalog, advertising, social mechanics and many other ways to promote the service.

The platform is actively developing: in April VK Mini Apps broke a record - 36 million people entered the mini-applications in a month. The number of active services is growing: in March there were about 15 thousand, in April - more than 16 thousand.

Do you need to create gadgets on VK Fresh Code?


It is possible, but not necessary. VK Fresh Code works in two directions: educational and grant.

You need to create your own mini-application in order to qualify for a grant - this is 300 thousand rubles, 150 of which are in the form of a certificate for VKontakte promotion. In total, 50 authors of the best projects will receive cash prizes for the program. Moreover, the winners of the first wave will also receive on the iPhone 11 - so be bolder.
