Warp

Hi Chris, we appreciate your feedback. We are requiring sign in because it enables syncing settings across machines, command sharing with teammates, and command generation using OpenAI Codex. We understand folks want to see value before signing up. We're having conversations internally about this concern and will keep the community posted.

Login serves two functions now. One is that we think there are features that require login in order to create a better user experience. The other is to improve our product during beta. 1. We believe that the terminal is more powerful when you can share commands with teammates, generate commands using Open AI Codex, or run shared wikis directly in the terminal. These are not possible if users do not have an account with us. We've already begun building team features and we want to be able to ship them to our users without friction. 2. For our public beta, we do send telemetry and we do associate it with the logged in user because it makes it much easier to reach out and get feedback when something goes wrong. But we only track metadata, never console output. For an exhaustive list of events that we track, see here: https://docs.warp.dev/getting-st.... If this is uncomfortable to you, please wait for Warp to enter General Availability. At that point our plan is to make telemetry opt-in and anonymous.

Thank you! Our input editor uses emacs key bindings! And yes, emacs/vim do enjoy using Warp as well.

Hi Naved, thank you so much for your feedback. The survey is optional, but it's our bad this is not obvious enough. We're going to refresh that survey, and hopefully we can win you back then.
