What even is Warp now? I remember it as the electron terminal and totally dismissing it. Then I think I read it got the RIIR treatment, but there was already Ghostty and Alacritty by then. Now it looks like it’s another AI thing?

What the heck is warp???

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.

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

A personal Mac terminal emulator built for terminal-based AI work.

How exactly does it help with "terminal-based AI work"?

Definitely rude, too close to the same name. Warp just recently open sourced their client, a [not community] personal fork should be more considerate.

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?

You aren’t the only one who didnt get this off the bat. I still don’t understand why I do this instead of just typing Claude my terminal

A terminal: https://www.warp.dev/

> Warp is the agentic development environment

So not a terminal?

You probably can't name a project OpenWarp for the same reason you can't name a search engine OpenGoogle, even though it's a different name to the original. In this case, it's particularly confusing because the original warp project _is_ now open source.
