If only the website was as blazingly fast as the terminal claims to be!

It scrolls at 2 fps.

Hi HN, I’m Zach, from Warp. Excited to get feedback on what we’ve been working on. Happy to answer any questions!

Not sure if I missed it on the website, but...is this to be a paid product?

The terminal itself is totally free

We may add paid features for enterprises around collaboration, and other things on the server that would cost us money to support.

Does is rely on OpenGL drivers to compile? (whenever its available as OSS). An option to compile it by disabling any hardware acceleration (kitty does require openGL I think) and disabling fancy animations/effects would be great for getting this installed at my workplace. I currently use an not-so-recent version of konsole and its a pain to customize. Kitty, which I on my personal machine is pretty good for customizations and is desktop agnostic too.

Zach, looks like a cool product! How would you say this differentiates itself from Teleport Ssh? I can see at a glance there this is written in Rust (vs Golang) and seems to be based on being a full terminal (vs being an application run on the terminal).

Somewhat off-topic: After seeing the layout of the page, I instinctively looked for a "Pricing" link.

"Warp" is also the name of a popular Rust web framework. (https://github.com/seanmonstar/warp)

When are you going to be on other platforms?

We are building a web version now using WASM and WebGL.

Next up will be Linux, followed by Windows.

I expected this to be related to https://github.com/seanmonstar/warp

the typo did not help

Some of the features make it sound dubious. "Real-time collaboration". Why would you bake that in your terminal?

Not to be confused with the other big warp rust project, https://github.com/seanmonstar/warp/

Or CloudFlare's Warp, also using Rust.
