So Warp is apparently a new terminal app by folks who proudly used to work at surveillance capitalists like Google, Facebook, etc. (warp.dev/about-us)

- Is it open source?

The client will be, apparently.

- The client? What there’s a server too?

Yep, centralised. Ain’t that fun?

- What data will they collect?

Apparently not much and it’s all opt in for now. Don’t worry ;) ;)

- Do they have VC?

Only $6M (crunchbase.com/organization/de)

- What’s their exit strategy?

Don’t worry ;) ;)

😬 👍

@aral and it also looks like an Electron app 🤢

@savely It’s Rust, man. Have some respect.

:P

@savely (Seriously, though, it does look like Electron.) :)

@aral I don't already know what to think tbh. Electron seems to be an inevitable end. The time of simple and small things has coming to an end.

You mention Rust. They could take alacritty as a base, but no, it requires more time and human resources.

Just sad 😔

@aral Hard pass, if people want a bloated terminal, which is Open Source, you can always go with hyper.is/ I know you are not asking for alternatives, just saying :)

hyper.isHyper™A terminal built on web technologies

@aral Can someone make a good cross-platform terminal emulator, and not this centralized trash, please?

@aral This might be the dumbest thing I've ever seen. I truly don't understand the point of it.

@aral
The demo video was underwhelming. Nothing screams "productivity" more than multiple cursors and searching the command history.
