I'm 100% on board with trying out a new terminal that is fast and has features, but there's an implicit expectation of the simplicity of the communication channel, and... this is not it.
They’ve raised $23m?!? Uhhh
puts on thinking cap
I am concerned that they will only work for simple workflows and not work with ssh, or docker attached shells, unless extreme effort is put into this area.
Oh boy, a terminal that I have to pay a monthly fee to use. Can’t wait.
Warp engineer here. Warp is actually free for individuals. Our business model is to make the terminal so useful for individuals that their companies will want to pay for the team features. Even those will likely be free up to some level of usage and only charged in a company context.
It's unfortunate that the name conflicts with an HTTP library in rust already: https://crates.io/crates/warp Otherwise, it looks neat.
To be honest - it feels weird seeing a company launch a free terminal, in 2022. How will the company make money? How long will this tool be around for? How will this company degrade the experience, or my privacy, so they can make money?
I also don't know how to square my thoughts on the above with the need to have sustainable open source development which no one seems to pay for?

Anyway, neat to have a new terminal that isn't Electron, but I'll stick to MS Terminal. At least they already have all my telemetry data.

Come on. You must realize VS Code and basically every website you use collects telemetry data, which is rarely for anything nefarious except product improvements. If GitHub/Microsoft had released this product, would you be raising the same concerns?
We can set the bar higher than “other people do this too so it’s fine”. > If GitHub/Microsoft had released this product, would you be raising the same concerns? Yes. It’s one of the reasons I use the open source build instead.

as long as it's not electron. tilix is my weapon of choice, and that's written in D.
Still looking for a lisp terminal emulator but right now, I use st
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 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 can do that.
Honestly, this freaks me out. It’s an angle I’ve never considered before. Now I need to make sure my current terminal emulator (kitty) isn’t sending information to the internet without my permission.
