This looks interesting. Is it MacOS only? And how does it behave with tools like tmux or ssh?
https://docs.warp.dev/features/ssh addresses this. Tmux is not supported over ssh.
Deal breaker for me -- always run with multiple panes/sessions/windows.

#32Warp 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.
Why? You can now disable all their telemetry, so a login is kinda just meh.
It's a matter of weeks before you're in a whackamole game with their marketing email unsubscription system
Re: The Terminal for the 21st Century
#33A terminal app for the 21st century is: 1. FOSS. 2. Portable, multi-platform. This "warp" is neither. Also... replying to some of their homepage quips: > Our GPT-3 powered AI search will convert natural language into executable shell commands. I'll grant you that _is_ kind of futuristic, but I would really rather not install your keylogger on my system. > Along the way, we built our own UI framework, our own Rust-bas…
right? I don't know what "FPS" my "Terminal" displays out, I could care less, I am using it to emulate a VTE from long before I was born.

#34It’s not Electron so a positive.

#35I'll definitely give this a try once it comes to linux. I used to know my way around the standard linux tools better while I was still learning linux and its coretools. The CLI interface sucks for discoverability for the intermediate user, and there is definitely much room for a tool informed by modern UX research to offer a better experience.

#37I have been searching for a replacement since iTerm is not the greatest on macOS. Will give this a try
Really? iTerm is rock solid. Even macOS Terminal is pretty decent. Both options are a lot better than anything I’ve tried on Windows.

#38I 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?
So more than any place I’ve ever worked, FANGs have large organizational policies that make using alternative terminals like this more difficult.
Warp does a lot behind the scenes to do its magic. This was being broken by organizational policy enforced config on my dev box.
The warp team went above and beyond to work around those restrictions and configurations, and improved their product as a result.
I really liked that and it earned trust with me.
That’s all I meant. I should have been more clear.

#39Earlier quoted context omitted.
What does being a "fang dev" have to do with the quality of this terminal?
fang devs like to think that they are somehow superior to the rest of us. So they think mentioning that they work for a fang company gives their statements greater importance.
That’s not what I was getting at. I’m actually half retarded when it comes to dev.
What I meant was that warp went above and beyond to accommodate organizational enforced security policies that were breaking warp for me.
