This looks interesting. Is it MacOS only? And how does it behave with tools like tmux or ssh?

I use Warp daily as a fang dev, they have constantly improved the product. I'm a believer.

What does being a "fang dev" have to do with the quality of this terminal?

I have been searching for a replacement since iTerm is not the greatest on macOS. Will give this a try

Warp requires a sign-up before I can try the terminal. This can be a big no no for many users, or at least for me.

Yep MacOS only for now. SSH works ok, it wraps the native SSH and does some magic so your milage will vary. For TMUX, don't know what you would need that for honestly.

Before clicking I knew it's yet another Electron app that wraps JS terminal emulators but I was pleased to be proven wrong. Fully native GPU accelerated renderer was a nice line in the marketing material.

I've moved on from using a terminal app however. I am using the VSCode terminal and I'm content with it. It has a bunch of nice bindings between terminal and the editor like clicking on a path to open the file in editor.

I wonder if this can replace my VSCode terminal so I can actually use it. Otherwise I'll download it, play with it a little bit and forget about it when it comes to doing actual work...

Why? You can now disable all their telemetry, so a login is kinda just meh.

It's the terminal with telemetry - so an instant no-go.
