they’ll have a business offering which lets people collaborate
If collaboration is the angle, JetBrains and VSCode already offer that but without forcing people to use specific terminals.

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:/…
Do you track input during beta?

Re: Show HN: Warp, a Rust-based terminal
#203That's a shame because terminal multiplexers like GNU screen and tmux such a core part of my terminal usage that I'm hesitant to discard them, even for something that looks really useful like Warp.
I'm not sure how many people actively use terminal multiplexers like GNU screen and tmux, so maybe I represent only a tiny minority of users.

#205Wanted 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…
It's more essential to be honest about this during the beta period than after, so "oh it will be opt in" is a cold comfort, alongside the approximately never-true "we'll open source it some day."
Not touching this with a ten foot pole. Not for something as essential to my day to day work as a terminal.

Warp engineer here. FWIW, the Warp terminal will be free for individuals. We would never charge for anything a terminal currently does. So no paywalls around SSH or anything like that. The types of features we could eventually charge for are team features. Our bet is that the moat is going to be the team features, like: - Sharing hard-to-remember workflows - Wikis and READMEs that run directly in the terminal - Sessi…

I actually don't want them. I migrated from many apps that do too much to apps that do one thing really well.

This type of canned response doesn't sit well with me. Keep us posted when you're out of beta and those things are removed, do you have a timeline for that?

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…

Yup, well, that's what happens when you take money from VCs or other third party investors, you need to monetise / demonstrate ROI / need numbers for your investor slide-decks.
I'll stick to my old-fashioned spyware free terminal thanks very much. Why overcomplicate things that don't need to be complicated.

I doubt their compelling features will be in OSS terminals any time soon. I’ve wanted a terminal that has a decent multi line editor for years , and there’s nothing out there.
Most of the stuff sibling comment is referring to center around the feature:
'edit-and-execute-command' in bash. There is a similar incantation for zsh.
I summon it with, 'ESC v' in both.
