I've been using this for personal projects (I use Linux at work -- which isn't yet supported). It's really nice, actually. It just kinda brings the terminal more in line with what you'd expect from a modern application. I can't wait to see where it goes.

I think they are planning a lot of work for teams. Some people hate IDEs, but I love them. I see this as IDE-izing the terminal.

I heard it can type commands before you know you need to type them

I use just about anything that can run tmux, so I can use the same settings and shortcuts everywhere, to me a terminal that only support an OS is close to being as useful as a fork in the soup

Anyone know how this lines up to other terminals performance wise. I’ve been pretty happy with alacritty, but would be willing to try a terminal with more features.

What is your monetization plan?

It certainly looks interesting. I sincerely hope the plan is for eventual cross platform functionality if it's aimed and development teams. So many more devs seem to be using native linux these days.

Is your plan to open-source this or open-source its core in the future?

It's a good question, one that we are discussing a bunch. We are planning to first open-source our Rust UI framework, and then parts and potentially all of our client codebase. The server portion of Warp will remain closed-source for now. You can see how we’re thinking about open source here: https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/discussions/400 TLDR; As a side note, we are open sourcing our extension points as we go. T…

I wish you the best, this does look really cool. The collaboration aspects especially are pretty great; with remote work becoming the norm, terminal sharing without having to go through grainy zoom video shares is going to be amazing. And the workflows look super useful as well.

Just my thoughts on this: I wouldn't consider using it personally, but would advocate for using it in companies where e.g. there are engineers that work closely with support, teaching them how to debug etc. If it was OSS, I do think it would increase adoption by a lot.

Wanted to give it a shot but got disappointed when I launched it and the following happened:

- Outgoing request to googleapis.com

- Outgoing request to segment.io

- Outgoing request to sentry.io

- Requires sign up (only via Github, mind you)

I understand the first request is probably to get some dynamic configuration, even though I'd rather my terminal ship with static configuration. But then you have segment and sentry: not interested in sending telemetry from my terminal. Finally having user accounts for a terminal is such as strange concept.

I really wanted to like it, too. The screenshots look great
