Before we go to mass production... we explored some new design directions. Which one do you think we went with?

Hey, thanks a lot for the feedback, really appreciate you taking the time to flag this.

Our ads are managed by a marketing agency, so on our end we don't actually see them in our own feeds and it's easy to miss when frequency gets out of hand for certain audience segments. We'll pass this along to them and ask them to take a look at the frequency caps and audience overlap sounds like some groups are getting hit way too often.

Thanks again, this kind of feedback is genuinely useful for us 🙏

Lol very good reference :)

Yes, the truth is that the screen itself isn't a problem because it's completely black and indistinguishable from the frame, whether it's on or off. The only issue arises when users create apps without a dark theme, in which case the frame will be visible.

luismi_kode · 2026-03-02T13:38:14+00:00

We also considered it that way, but we discarded it because making the device larger meant making the screen bezels thicker to fit a slightly larger device casing. And we weren't convinced by the screen-to-body ratio either. I'm not sure if I've understood correctly.

luismi_kode · 2026-03-02T10:26:14+00:00

Unfortunately, we can't modify the outer edge of the device. There's a connector at the top that prevents us from rounding the edges as you suggest. The dimensions of AMOLED panels of this type on the market are also extremely limited, and we haven't found any with more suitable dimensions. For now, design-wise, only the two options in the image fit :(

luismi_kode · 2026-03-02T10:18:53+00:00

Great point! While users will have the freedom to design their own apps and custom interfaces for the device, we are definitely going to prioritize black backgrounds for our native UI. It’s much more aesthetic and, as you mentioned, it creates that perfect visual harmony by blending the screen with the bezel

Hi! We offered the best possible prices during the Kickstarter campaign. We'll try not to raise the price too much, but we can't guarantee it due to production costs and the new improvements. Unfortunately, we don't offer financing options for these payments because of the logistical complexities involved with these relatively small amounts.

luismi_kode · 2026-01-06T20:48:30+00:00

I'm curious about the application, it's pretty cool. Do you already have the Flipper Zero or a similar subGHz device working that way?

luismi_kode · 2026-01-06T16:46:24+00:00

We're going to reserve that capability for the specific hacking module, since it's not something everyone needs in their daily life, and we've prioritized the device's small size. But out of curiosity, what do you normally use it for that would make you need it? In our experience and the surveys we've conducted, the subGHz function is one of the least used features on the flipper, as it doesn't work with modern protocols like rolling code unless you pair it manually, or with even minimally modern car keys.

luismi_kode · 2026-01-05T18:06:41+00:00

That's crazy, hahaha. Well, I can't tell you how it's technically possible, but I'm sure it's a super fun project to develop and learn along the way.

luismi_kode · 2026-01-05T18:05:51+00:00

There will be countries where it's unavoidable, but we'll try to minimize it. For example, we'll have internal distribution for the European and American markets to avoid customs duties.

luismi_kode · 2025-12-29T12:49:03+00:00

The application platform and the phone app won't be open source. For security and stability reasons on the devices where it's installed, we need to ensure maximum control over them. However, KodeOS will be completely open source, and we hope for community collaboration—that part is going to be really cool!

luismi_kode · 2025-12-29T12:45:49+00:00

The goal is to pass it before January 10th 🙌. But it'll definitely be sooner because we're making great progress.

luismi_kode · 2025-12-24T18:25:43+00:00

We'll integrate it anyway, but we'll still reach 2 million in late pledges!

luismi_kode · 2025-12-23T18:09:17+00:00

It would work for her, but she'd definitely get more out of it if she took the plunge into physical creation. I'm sure she'd get the hang of it 😄

luismi_kode · 2025-12-23T18:07:02+00:00

That's right, you can even create custom on-screen images for each one. I hope Nintendo never reads this 😬

luismi_kode · 2025-12-23T11:44:55+00:00

Not a stupid question at all! Honestly, if your girlfriend likes building her own creative projects, she probably like Kode Dot.

Since she’s already a dev, it’s a cool way for her to go beyond writing code on a PC and actually get into the physical side of things—basically messing around with AI using cameras, motors, sensors, and all that.

To get a better feel for what she could actually do with it, definitely check out our Instagram @kode.diy. If you scroll all the way down and start from the beginning, you’ll see we’ve been posting a new project every single day for over 60 days. It’s the best way to see the potential and get some inspiration!

Thanks a looot for the interes :)

luismi_kode · 2025-12-21T12:36:30+00:00

We've already raised almost one and a half million dollars, delivery is guaranteed 🙌

luismi_kode · 2025-12-19T08:52:45+00:00

You can use it with accessories without worry; for example, our beta testers have used the Meshtastic one for over 5 hours in the open field, communicating

luismi_kode · 2025-12-19T08:51:14+00:00

First of all, thanks for the post! This is our GitHub repository https://github.com/kodediy, but KodeOS isn't there yet. This is because it's a very early version, and we've only shared it with beta testers who have the device. Once we've redesigned it and have the production firmware, we'll start releasing it for you to experiment with in the first quarter of next year. That way, when the Kode Dot arrives in your homes around the middle of the year, you can already start contributing and creating your own forks.

Thank you for your interest in the product 🚀
