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 sen…

I definitely understand the concerns. For our public beta, we do send telemetry and associate it with the logged in user because it makes it much easier to reach out and get feedback when something goes wrong. But we only track metadata, never console output. For an exhaustive list of events that we track, see here: https://docs.warp.dev/getting-started/privacy#exhaustive-tel... . Once we hit general availability, ou…

This looks very interesting to me, but some of this telemetry is a deal breaker. On your privacy page, it says "Our general philosophy is complete transparency and control of any data leaving your machine." If I have complete control of any data leaving my machine, can I opt to turn off the telemetry entirely?

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. https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty

Kitty is awesome, but no windows if you're into that. Alacritty awesome as well, but minimalistic and rust which I have no idea why it matters in OPs post or in general.

I appreciate memory safety in applications that handle and interpret data controlled by third-parties. Kitty and Alacritty stand apart as written in memory safe languages, unlike the vast majority of terminal emulators which are written in C/C++. Doesn't mean their bug-free, but they're less likely to have trivial RCE vulnerabilities.

Warp engineer here. I understand your concern. We will remove telemetry when we enter general availability. It will be opt-in and anonymous. We really want to improve the product quickly during this beta phase. Collecting data makes it much easier to reach out and get feedback when something goes wrong. But we only track metadata, never console output. For an exhaustive list of events that we track, see here: https:/…

your target audience will never opt-in though

They’ve raised $23m?!? Uhhh

I think you could build a really good terminal if you had $23M to piss away. I strongly doubt you can create a good terminal if it also needs a business model that can recoup $23M.

If you squint this isn't that far different from rundeck, ansible tower, etc. or other devops platforms that focus on collaborative management and maintenance of machines, services, etc. If they market to the kubernetes space in particular I suspect there's a market for devops teams there--the ecosystem is flooded with CLI tools and best practices but very little primary panes of glass to manage them all or tie them together. It's not too far of a jump to start offering a managed cloud service with these services.

I knew this was too good to be true :(

I feel bad for the engineers who worked on this, as this is really awesome but probably will not find market fit

Do you track input during beta?
