It's unfortunate that the name conflicts with an HTTP library in rust already: https://crates.io/crates/warp Otherwise, it looks neat.
We had actually already picked the name before we settled on using Rust, but we think the warp server framework is great and actually used to use them as a dependency at one point in time

You may be conflating programs running in a terminal and the terminal itself. We've managed to get this far without the latter.
Warp could certainly promise not to include any phone-home functionality in their code, but unless it's open-source and everything is audited, it could easily call the host system's HTTP client and still phone home.
This is neat, but I'm not convinced it's going in the right direction. It's not open source, and "maybe it will eventually be" is unacceptable for such a core component of an engineer's workflow. Most of the features on the front page are "coming soon," not actually available. There's no timeline for support for non-Mac OS systems, and it's built using Metal rather than any cross-platform API, so it will be at least…
>It's not open source, and "maybe it will eventually be" is unacceptable for such a core component of an engineer's workflow. That's a huge overstatement. What's unacceptable about it (or any other software for that matter) closed-source?
Lots of things. Lock-in for once. Warp's VC decide they want an exit and Warp becomes 50usd/month sass or some sanctions block you from using Warp. You're hole workflow, scripts etc are basically dead. Also, what is in that closed source? No one can audit it and it's literally the environment that contains all of your secrets.

> Oh yea, Fig is also the one that is Mac only but never mentions that fact anywhere on their website. Everything is written to just presume that the reader is on a Mac. Not that it is not annoying, it is, but that's pretty common with Mac-only software in my experience.
It's even more common with windows-only software.
On the rare occasion it is truly just win, it's usually made clear far more than macos only.
It looks great. If I can live with sublimetext being closed source I’m sure I can live with my terminal also being closed source. Heck the windows terminal and macOS terminal are closed source and I use them everyday.
fyi Windows Terminal is open-source and has 82k github stars https://github.com/microsoft/terminal
While it's entertaining to see Warp get excoriated for telemetry, keep in mind that they're doing what everyone else is. The new Windows Terminal has opt-out telemetry, as does PowerShell 7, .NET Core, and well... pretty much everything Microsoft ships these days has telemetry on by default. Last I checked, a fairly basic Windows + Office setup has 200+ individual sets of telemetry. To get this veritable torrent of i…
This has me reconsidering my usage of iTerm. What could be lurking in there? Maybe it's safe for now, but will the next update include spyware so iTerm can get its piece of the pie?
Mac's builtin terminal is quite good. Nothing fancy. It's good at what it does and doesn't try to be something it's not.

Agree, this is a pretty bad deal breaker for me. Big business people doing short-sighted big business things, salivating at cramming a product full of telemetry. All without transparency around it? In a terminal of all things?? Indescribably off-putting and catastrophically damages my trust in the product and the CEO. EDIT: To be fair there is some transparency in the original post. I was looking through the landing…
Hi - as the poster and founder I again completely get the concern. We should make it even more transparent what we collect. You can see it here: https://docs.warp.dev/getting-started/privacy#exhaustive-tel... Re: big business, we're still pretty small, but it's true that we are trying to build a business around the command-line. I get that's controversial and it's not something that exists and that the terminal is a…
The world is in trouble when your putting 17M into a Terminal designed to track and make money off of us? ie. Facebook. ie. we are the product?
No thanks, deleted. I'm a programmer, don't need a corporation in my terminal.
