And many other amazing, free, and capable software, like Fish, Konsole, GNU addons to Linux, known as GNU / Linux, etc; not mentioning the programming languages behind the scenes.
You may notice that nearly every software behind the development of Alton is "Libre". The reason for that is:
- Alton supports their user's privacy, and decides not to risk it on some random paid software. I'm looking at you, ICAN.
- Alton likes the idea of Application on the internet, Devs around the world, and
- Alton itself is a FLOSS, so it shall support other FLOSSes.
