Recently I've started to use <a href="https://superset.sh">https://superset.sh</a> as alternative to Warp. After the volks @mastra mentioned it. Very cool open source project.<p>I'm actually pretty proud of the final setup I've created with it.<p>Each time I start to implement a new ticket, superset will pull the ticket from linear, create a worktree/workspace, reserve ports, start the servers, start a browser and start Claude with the ticket as instructions.<p>The cool thing with this setup is, I can have like 10x the same servers running on different ports/worktrees.
Each time an agent is done, I switch to the workspace, look at the browser and can immediately test things.<p>It's like having 10 virtual desktops. Wonderful!
> Open-sourcing is fundamentally coming from our desire to build a successful business. We are competing with other highly funded, closed-source competitors, and we think opening and providing the resources for the community to improve Warp is a smart way for us to accelerate product development. Yes, we are a VC funded startup, but we do not have the resources to compete on price or massively subsidize usage – we need to build our business by offering the best possible product to the most excited community.<p>Appreciate the candid take. Warp is great.
Who are their highly funded closed-source competitors they claim Warp cannot beat on price?<p>Warp is the only closed source terminal product I know of. Most other popular terminal emulators are open source already.<p>I feel like their funding is drying up and this is their last ditch effort to have the "community" build their product for them.<p>They claim agents will run the show, with inputs from community in the form of ideas/specs/direction. I wonder how long that will be sustainable for given the subsidized model prices are collapsing as we speak.<p>Is this an attempt to pivot to something else while the "community" keeps their first product alive? Maybe I'm being too cynical here, but I don't see this as an act of good faith, especially given their roots in VC funding.
I hope someone will create a lightweight version without AI and code editing stuff. The terminal experience is the best, but I don't have any use for the agentic stuff while having claude code, opencode, codex and plenty other options.
It's good feedback. We've tried to make it so there is a single "turn off all the AI stuff" button (and you can opt into plain old terminal during onboarding as well, with no login, etc). Curious if this does the trick?
You could probably few-shot this yourself by pointing at the repo. I'm 95% sure it can be done in a day end-to-end.
can you share more about what makes it so great. this is the first i am hearing about it , so i am curious.<p>i currently use tmux and ghostty for my workflow
+1 use warp every day. Needs some UX improvement around the agent stuff and file editor but I see it as alpha/beta software so I'm not too critical.

(or vice versa; this one was earlier but has fewer comments)
Sad that they didn't open source the commit history. I would have loved to branch off of like 5 years ago when Warp was just a terminal, rip out all the AI and cloud shit, and turn it into just a nice terminal with some neat features.
Can I use it now without logging in?
My main driver has been Ghostty but I've been looking at Warp for a while. Warp seems like a full on IDE (~ADE) though, as opposed to a minimalistic terminal. Can anyone add some thoughts? Are these 2 very different?<p>tangential: I've seen Mitchel tweet that people in SF have ran up to him showing him how they fully riced their Ghostty setup. How many people here have done this and how easy/manageable is it? e.g. just forking the repo and implementing whatever Warp feature I like?
Warp founder here. We actually are chatting with Mitchell about integrating Ghostty so it's the terminal grid renderer within Warp.
Warp failed to launch. Perhaps too much AI pushed onto the users in the early days that failed to show its charm.<p>Ghostty remains incredible stable and usable and fast compared to competition.
check out yaw terminal for a terminal first experience that also treats ai cli as a first class citizen. and if you're on windows is very dialed into git bash.
libghostty makes it pretty easy to do. I spent about two weeks setting something up until it was advanced enough to daily drive. I wanted to have a modal workflow similar to vim or tmux copy mode, but without having the overhead of using tmux... that's probably a lot more complicated than "I want Ghostty but with $X tweak". You can poke around in the repo to get a feel for what's involved if you want: <a href="https://github.com/milch/mistty" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/milch/mistty</a>
I really like Warp. It's a lot nicer to be able to visualize what I'm doing in the terminal. Some people don't like the AI features, but they only activate if you log in.
I've been trying to figure out what the long term play is here - is it an angling for a frontier lab acquisition? Or does open-sourcing put Warp in the same sort of category as OpenCode - where charging for LLM tokens becomes the main commercial driver?
Great terminal, annoying that everytime it updates I have to go back to the settings to disable new AI features or layout changes.
Holy shit this made my day. Warp’s convenience shell wrapping is amazing. It’s the only terminal where I can actually edit a long command in place rather than copy pasting into an editor and doing so there.
Now I’m more or less assured I can retain this convenience without being forced into more AI crap.
^X^E in bash takes your current prompt and moves it to your $EDITOR.<p>for zsh:<p><pre><code> autoload edit-command-line
zle -N edit-command-line
bindkey '^X^E' edit-command-line</code></pre>
Have you tried `C-x e`
Just ask your agent to fork and remove it!
Maybe someone will finally add tmux/zellij support…
Was hoping this was about OS/2. Nope, all AI grifts.
Well, very nice, will need to give it a try afer I check the requirements.
I almost went to Warp from DOS but Linux arrived first.<p>EDIT: well looks like this is not OS/2 Warp. I wish the title would have noted this is somekind of app instead of just saying "warp".
