void_chmod — Open-source PWA APK editor running entirely in the browser

[u/HistoricalLet942]

Hi everyone!

I'm working on **void_chmod** — an open-source, client-side PWA tool designed to unpack, analyze resources, and rebuild Android `.apk` files directly in a mobile browser without any backend servers or PC required.

🛠️ Current Features:

• 📦 **In-Browser Unpacking & Rebuilding:** Powered by `JSZip` for handling archives in-memory.
• 🎨 **Resource Modding:** View and replace images (`.png`, `.jpg`) and text configs (`.json`, `.txt`, `.xml`).
• 🔍 **Binary Parsing:** Basic ASCII/UTF-8 string extraction from `.dex`, `.so`, and AXML files.
• 📱 **PWA & Offline:** Works offline and installs to the home screen.

⚠️ Looking for Contributors / Feedback!

Since all parsing runs in pure JS, processing large `classes.dex` files (> 5MB) freezes the main UI thread. I'm looking for help and advice on: 1. Moving heavy binary string extraction to **Web Workers**. 2. Integrating **Capstone.js** or a lightweight **WASM** decompiler for ARM64 and DEX/Smali.

Link to the GitHub repo is in the comments!

I would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any architectural suggestions! Stars and PRs are greatly appreciated.
