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???

Warp was always an AI thing, as I recall - the seem much heavier on AI bandwagon nowadays, but their whole thing was a terminal for teams where you could share knowledge and command palettes and generate stuff.

Warp didn't start out as AI, IIRC they started with auto completing terminals.

"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.

Warp is already an Alacritty fork with no acknowledgement. I feel they deserve no respect for this. see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47939527

But calling it OpenAlacritty would be worse, which is what happened here.

Yeah, pretty much. I used it, but one day I opened Warp and it looked like a half-baked Cursor. I liked it for the ability to type "git one-liner logs with date and author, no messages" and get the output without having to remember or look for actual formatting parameters. I also get that's too niche of an use case, and not sustainable as a business. But still.

FWIW, an open-source clone of that earlier version of Warp called Wave is out there. It seems to be actively maintained and works quite well, in my experience.

Is it Rust or Node/Electron? That’s one of the key considerations I have these days; I’m over bloatware.

Warp founder here. It's cool to see the community excitement here. Note that we are going to add bring-your-own-model directly into Warp. Would love interested folks to weigh in on the discussion here: https://github.com/warpdotdev/warp/discussions/9619

Makes plenty of sense to upstream this (possibly makes more more than forking, although I suppose it's one way of gauging interest and implementation complexity).

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.

I do have to admit, when I saw Warp I thought of OS/2, a long forgotten Win32-compatible OS by IBM, btw, does anyone know if IBM trademarked Warp?

I don't use Warp, but it seems to me they did something cool (terminal app), pivoted that attention into a profitable AI play, but a lot of people just wanted the terminal app. Now nobody knows what Warp is anymore, because they want to be an Agentic IDE and that's not what the users want. Do I have that right? I don't see what the point of this OpenWarp fork is though, other than adding more provider support. Couldn…

Also, great example of why you don't take a terminal that requires login as your daily workhorse. It never ends well.

Long overdue - I was all in a few years ago with Warp, but after the last couple of years of not addressing this need, I have moved on from Warp. I now DO NOT see the need to embed AI into the terminal when you can have all sorts of TUI doing the same job.

What about when SSHing to an external server, or working in a container?

This might have changed but Warp was not able to do this without “warpifying” the SSH host.

Nanobot will happily ssh to a host and do things on it. I'm sure that's just a skill away for pi or opencode.

That was a mistake they made initially, but iirc they got rid of it after a while.
