warp

Note: it does seem at least some development happens in the open https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp > We are planning to first open-source our Rust UI framework, and then parts and potentially all of our client codebase. The server portion of Warp will remain closed-source for now. https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/discussions/400 None of the server bits will be open, ever, but some of the UI code will be? Better than nothing.

I've now tried Warp twice (once off the back of this post). Switching back to iTerm2 again because of https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/1811 I like the sound of the other two features (rich text editing and automatic AI commands) but the muscle-memory cost is too high.

...turns out, not really 100% though; > "The first time you download Warp, you will need to be online to sign up and create your user account. After that initial setup, as long as you’re signed into the Warp app, Warp’s core terminal features will work as expected when you’re offline." [1] https://docs.warp.dev/help/using-warp-offline [2] https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/900

I gave up on Warp a long time ago when it started memory leaking like crazy: https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/2611 Also I've never quite found the AI stuff "smart" enough in the terminal to make me feel like it's contributing to anything I'm doing. More often than not the stuff it suggests is useless and worse than a naive autocomplete.

Kitty is fine, but there is a big issue with tmux and the dev seems to think it is about tiling and not about using remote machines.[0] Sure, I tile because it is there and I don't have control of the terminal I'll use on the other end, but the main draw is I gotta work on machines I'm connecting to with ssh. I think there's a lot of us still needing tools like this (and mosh) but little support. Looks like people were trying to help the dev but there was communication breakdown. I'm all for making sure things are done right and not just accepting hacky solutions, but there has to end up being a solution. I'd honestly just love to have a minimal terminal like foot[1], but that's wayland only and wayland support is still very mixed. And who knows when ghostty will come out[2]. But I also need linux + mac support and I think a lot of people

withfig/autocomplete is also used by other projects, who might be in a position to fork if something happens. The ones I know of are: - https://github.com/microsoft/inshellisense - https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp

I'm trying out Warp for the first time, and an immediate accessibility issue for me is that the text is simply too small to read for a lot of the UI elements (context menu, side bar, tab bar…). The size should be configurable for all of the elements, not just the terminal view. I think I would also be fine with a setting that just scales the whole UI. I did notice there is an issue for it already: https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/1443
