Ilya Malakhov is a visionary. Over ten years ago, he was already working on a revolutionary phone with dual screens and an e-ink display. Every day, Ilya tackles complex technical challenges. He is unafraid of low-level programming, expertly understanding various types of boards and their firmware. This is why the code created for Oneway TV is so interesting from a technical perspective.
Ilya led the development of Yandex TV, Yandex Phone, and SberDevices. For the past two years, he has been developing an innovative TV entertainment ecosystem.
— Ilya, when you started working on the Oneway TV shell, what guided you?
— I worked in corporations for a long time. They had excellent working conditions and a great team, but there were also limitations from management in some cases. For example, global changes in architecture and code required approvals. So, I decided to create a developer’s dream TV shell, technically optimized with a focus on performance.
— Tell us the main features of Oneway TV.
— We have a backendless architecture, which implies flexibility, and our main screen is automatically generated from the content of pre-installed applications. This allows for a quick launch in a new country and ensures that users have an ideal experience. We always suggest what to watch on the main screen.
— It sounds promising and seems like it could reduce product support costs for clients. There would be no need for a separate manager to manage the storefront.
— Yes, exactly.
— The share of projector sales is increasing. How are you dealing with this?
— We are currently working on releasing projectors with our shell. We can also work on smart glasses. The code adapts perfectly to different devices.
— It sounds incredible. One product with multiplatform capability. How much does all this weigh?
— The shell consists of several applications. For example, the launcher weighs 800 KB.
— Yes, that is significantly lighter than all other solutions on the market. On average, a launcher weighs 60 MB+. You’ve created the perfect code.
— The buyers will decide that.
— Speaking of buyers, I read reviews from customers who bought TVs with your shell and saw that the ratings are very high. It’s interesting that people praise getting the quality of a smart TV for $1000 at a price of $60.
— Oneway TV works perfectly on the simplest low-power hardware, significantly reducing production costs. Therefore, it makes the price attractive to buyers. TVs with our shell are top sellers.
—Ilia, thank you for this conversation.
