"OpenWarp is a community fork of Warp's open-source code. It is not affiliated with Warp Inc. and follows the upstream AGPL / MIT dual license."

It is rude, and possibly a trademark violation, to fork a project and use the same name. And, how can there be a "community fork" when there is no community? It's just been Open Sourced 24 hours ago.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd love a "ThinWarp" -- just the terminal with the great UI, etc.

I can run Claude Code there or whatever. But I personally don't need the AI in the terminal itself.

for somebody not in the know... what is this? the website doesn't seem to explain much. i can add models to warp, but what's warp?

I was hoping that this was an opensourcing of OS/2. (With the recent DOS announcement, I guess one can only dream.)

Claude Code is very capable of making a terminal emulator with exactly (and only) the features you want. I did that for myself and it's now my daily driver. Has a few goodies I care about but nothing much else, and I have no intention of adding features for other people: https://github.com/cartermp/term

I've looked at Warp before and seen that it has some potentially useful features for a command line terminal program, like having each command be its own little history window which you can scroll independently and collapse. (I might have imagined/inferred those from the screenshots of it working though). So an alternative implementation does sound interesting, but I would want it just to be a terminal, not with any AI or agent stuff in it.

So alas this doesn't appear to be it.
