TKA Archive - Kitteh Parteh Deep Dive

The Kitteh Parteh companion app has been found and archived, but the app no longer functions properly. Most of the content was hosted on web servers that are now dead. Today I'll be deep-diving into what remains in the app itself.



Main Functions:


Kitteh Parteh opens you into a dashboard containing a comic, alarm clock, links to various YouTube videos, some downloadable backgrounds, a link to the TKA online shop, a jukebox, and Facebook/Twitter feeds. Interestingly, the social feeds come from http://www.adminmyapp.com/tkadashboard/api/read?action=getrssfeeds instead of a direct API call to Facebook or Twitter.

  • Comics
    The app loads the official TKA comic from http://www.adminmyapp.com/tkadashboard/api/read?action=allbooks and momentarily turns into an e-reader. (Archived comic available here.)

  • Clock
    Works without an internet connection. Has two wallpapers to choose from and plays a cool little song when the alarm goes off. Interestingly, the date only goes up to 2021.

  • Videos
    Pulls a list of YouTube links from somewhere in http://www.adminmyapp.com/tkadashboard and displays them. While I don't have the full list, all of these videos seem to be still available to watch. (The ones in the screenshot can be found here, here, and here.)
  • Backgrounds
    Pulls a list of images from http://www.adminmyapp.com/tkadashboard/hdwallipad and displays them. These images can be saved to your device. (I've attempted to archive them here.)
  • Jukebox
    Works without an internet connection. Only contains three songs:
  • Shop
    Seems to send you to the official TKA merch store at http://shop.technokittenadventure.com. No screenshots of this part exist.


Other:


The .IPA also contains some .XML documents that look like placeholder book info for the eReader implementation and "New Text Document.txt" which contains a local file path:
  • \\192.168.1.204\designer\xavier\Downloads\TerminalPress\CONTAGIOUS
I have zero idea who "xavier" is, but Terminal Press is a comic book publisher owned by Brian Ferrara (executive producer of TKA) who did the TKA comic mentioned above.
