VKUI (vkcom.github.io/VKUI/) is the official open-source UI component library from VK (Russia's largest social network), providing reusable React components to build consistent, accessible, and performant interfaces for VK ecosystem apps, mini-apps, and web services. It follows VK's design guidelines with a focus on modularity, cross-platform support (web and mobile via React Native compatibility), and Russian-language prioritization, while being adaptable for global use. Popular in Eastern Europe, it's used for social features, messaging, and community tools.
