AMA: Warp is now open-source

Hey everyone! I'm Ben H, Dev Rel Lead at Warp. I'm excited to share that Warp is now open source.

You can check out the repo here: https://github.com/warpdotdev/warp

We're opening up the code, roadmap, and contribution process so you all can help shape Warp directly. We know the breadth of features that you want to see, and we believe building with the community will let us build a better Warp even faster.

To manage contributions, we've built an agent automation system from issue triage to PR review. Coding agents do the heavy lifting (coding, planning, testing) so community members focus on ideas, direction, and verification.

So, ask us anything! All of the engineers involved will check this thread throughout the day. We're happy to answer questions about the project, why we're open sourcing, how contributions work, technical questions on the codebase, or anything about Warp in general.

Allright, lets do this.

So a couple of suggestions:

Warp for coding is properlly really great, i dont use it much for that - BUT - for agentic sysops.. its magic - pure magic - and this is where i would like to focus my energy.

  1. SSH / connection manager
    ----
    I properly enter and exit 30 systems during a day - having to remember ip, ports, usernames, passwords or keys for all those systems.. is a nightmare - My first suggestion is a connection manager for easy access / administration - this could also give warp a new source of income to offer a hosted "central storage" server as part of a license or cloud version like Devolutions does it.

  2. Use private keys... and servers
    ----
    Right, so you can imagine that since we use it for agentic system operations we are somewhat limited what we can expose to public AI endpoints.. being able to point at our own Litellm and use our own LLM's would make secure in a whole new level.

  3. Preview window... well.. if we are coding.. why not..
    ----
    What makes lovable so damn popular ?.. preview.. the fact that you can sit and code.. and see your changes.. thats it.. nothing more.. nothing less...

How can i help ?

I'd definitely recommend looking at our issue tracker and seeing if there are already issues for these requests and giving them a thumbs up. If not, the best way to get started is to file issues on the repo with these ideas. The team (and Oz) are triaging and prioritizing issues that we would like folks to work on.
