Earlier quoted context omitted.

you need to realise is that if you don't do this "by tomorrow", the momentum will be lost and no HN'er will ever use your product, because they will forever associate it with tracking

You grossly overestimate how important HN is. Didn't Dropbox get beaten up on HN?

this isn't Dropbox though

terminals are used by sysadmins/software developers/hackers

HN the most important resource in this category

their product has the hotspot

they should be fixing the telemetry ASAP (i'd suggest - before next release) or else their product will be forgotten for a while and next time it comes up everyone will be sceptical to upvote again

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…

1000s of developers use Idea's IntelliJ, Webstorm and GoLand. Only the community edition of IntelliJ is open source.

Software doesn't need to be open source for it to be adopted, if they have the right security practices and I'm sure for enterprise contracts they will have the right level of information available under NDA when GA.

Just gave it a spin. Pretty cool, but I upvoted this issue: https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/755 Not going to be usable for me unless that's fixed, or at least made into a setting. Certain directory structures are built deep into my muscle-memory now, and I feel crippled when the auto-complete does something different than what I'm used to.

Thanks for flagging that! There's a long-tail of completion improvements in Warp that we'd like to fix in the coming weeks/months. We'll make sure this gets fixed!

interesting how a terminal nowadays needs a whole company with career options and venture funds backing, unless you're trying to make a bloated product out of it ofc

don't get me wrong, it looks great as it is right now, but i'm very sceptical about it's future

CLIs are available on every OS.

You can increase the amount of command history you keep. Or keep a file with oft used commands.

Hard to believe. But good luck.

Define never. What if apple offered you $10 billion for the data? Even then? Also, why would you be collecting our data in the first place? Why does a terminal need to collect data?

Is there any new development or any product today that isn't collecting data? When's the last new product or upgrade or anything that didn't have data collection.

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…

How do you check which requests its making? Do you just use tcpdump or something?

What is your monetization plan?

Warp engineer here: Our business model is to make the terminal so useful for individuals that their companies will want to pay for the team features.

Thanks for the response! That sounds great to me.
