Oh, not OS/2 Warp.
I thought it was Cloudflare’s DNS caching service at first.

Re: Warp is now open-source
#62> Open-sourcing is fundamentally coming from our desire to build a successful business. We are competing with other highly funded, closed-source competitors, and we think opening and providing the resources for the community to improve Warp is a smart way for us to accelerate product development. Yes, we are a VC funded startup, but we do not have the resources to compete on price or massively subsidize usage – we ne…
Who are their highly funded closed-source competitors they claim Warp cannot beat on price? Warp is the only closed source terminal product I know of. Most other popular terminal emulators are open source already. I feel like their funding is drying up and this is their last ditch effort to have the "community" build their product for them. They claim agents will run the show, with inputs from community in the form o…
soloterm.com is closed source

#63I hope someone will create a lightweight version without AI and code editing stuff. The terminal experience is the best, but I don't have any use for the agentic stuff while having claude code, opencode, codex and plenty other options.
can you share more about what makes it so great. this is the first i am hearing about it , so i am curious. i currently use tmux and ghostty for my workflow
The way it goes beyond just emulating terminal. Multiline input that works like text editor, separated input and output blocks, wrapped shells that keeps the same ux with local and remote shells, the polish.
Re: Warp is now open-source
#64My main driver has been Ghostty but I've been looking at Warp for a while. Warp seems like a full on IDE (~ADE) though, as opposed to a minimalistic terminal. Can anyone add some thoughts? Are these 2 very different? tangential: I've seen Mitchel tweet that people in SF have ran up to him showing him how they fully riced their Ghostty setup. How many people here have done this and how easy/manageable is it? e.g. just…
Warp failed to launch. Perhaps too much AI pushed onto the users in the early days that failed to show its charm. Ghostty remains incredible stable and usable and fast compared to competition.
Warp is equally stable, almost as fast, while being more usable than Ghostty.
Re: Warp is now open-source
#65Holy shit this made my day. Warp’s convenience shell wrapping is amazing. It’s the only terminal where I can actually edit a long command in place rather than copy pasting into an editor and doing so there. Now I’m more or less assured I can retain this convenience without being forced into more AI crap.
^X^E in bash takes your current prompt and moves it to your $EDITOR. for zsh: autoload edit-command-line zle -N edit-command-line bindkey '^X^E' edit-command-line
Right, but if all terminals behaved like modern pieces of software, we would take functionality like Warp's as given, instead of suggesting workarounds.
What you describe sorta works, but you lose things like file/dir-based autocomplete, since your editor doesn't know about your shell session.

They see their competitors as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, not ghostty or something.
GitHub is going to go after this too (unsurprisingly). Working "Ace" prototype from Github "lab." https://maggieappleton.com/zero-alignment/
The problem description is spot on, but the solution isn't. No-one is going to sit in that chat and "collaborate" on each other's stuff in real time all day. You may as well just all sit around a screen.
I welcome the experimentation, there will definitely be something new, but this ain't it. New primitives are needed, at a higher level of conceptualization, not merely a fancy new interface.

#67> OpenAI is the founding sponsor of the new, open-source Warp repository, and the new agentic management workflows are powered by GPT models.
Nice...

What makes you say that Ghostty is less usable than another?
