What language is the MuditaOS written in?

@Kasper 71.5% of the MuditaOS is written C & 26.9% in C++ Hopefully this helps.

I see, it is not a language that I master. Are the UI’s for the desktop app, and the phone itself, also made with C/C++?

I am self familiar with making UI’s using web technologies (HTML/CSS/JS/TS), Swift and Dart (flutter). Anty of those that you use? Or isverything done with more lower level languages?

@Kasper Everything is done in low level languages :slight_smile:

I was actually searching a bit on the forum and I read that the desktop app is made using Electron, which is based on web technologies, is that not correct?

@Kasper I think you’re right :slight_smile: I believe the app is currently written in Electron , hence the compatibility with all the platforms. However, I am waiting to confirm this.

Yes, Electron was mentioned for the desktop companion app. The phone itself probably has no javascript running on it at all.

Hey! I was curious about the ability to load custom modified firmware onto the phone. The website mentions that the update process uses signing keys to ensure that it has not been tempered with. Does that mean I won’t be able to load my own modified version of the OS onto the phone? For example when working on the official repository and doing some changes to the source code. I can’t imagine that this won’t be possible as it would make testing rather hard.

Hi @ilikeit
We want to enable this option inside Pure, so that community members will be able to run the forks of the official MuditaOS inside their own Pure. I hope this answers your question. Cheers!

That they use FreeRTOS and low-level langs is a huge selling point for this phone as far as I’m concerned. That’s part of the simple life I’m looking for.

Hello.
When we can expect next Mudita OS Update?
I think monthly updates will be great (even with minor bug fixes) :slight_smile:
I dont expect the phone will be perfect on the next big update 1.3.0.
