They got rid of the login requirement a long time ago: https://www.warp.dev/blog/lifting-login-requirement

Warp was never Electron-based. It's built with Rust

My default working mode is: - Create GDoc - Open up link sharing - Paste link in Slack - Get notifications about file sharing in Slack (email for external comms only)

However! Right now I'm working with a team that's BIG on Shared GDrives so I have to adjust my workflow so that I always move a doc from my personal drive into a shared team drive before sharing. It's hard to remember to do every time.

Personally I don't like Folders in GDrive because I have to do a lot of x-functional work and it's too hard to consider which folder is most logical for the work. Much prefer links to files pinned in Slack channels or project mgmt systems vs. nested in GDrive structure.

This is a good question! The most common reason I hear in SaaS is that the arbitrary time window creates a sense of urgency for the person who has signed up to use the tool. Whereas, if there's no "countdown clock" people are more likely to forget about the software and never activate.

A lot of companies do Freemium versions or Reverse Trials where usage counts down based on user activity instead of time for the reason you're describing. But it's way harder to get people to upgrade from Free than to get them to convert when a time-based trial ends, generally.

The paint bucket sound makes my heart so happy!

Hey! Daytona looks cool.

The last few PH launches I've run, I've also noticed issues with manipulated traffic to drive upvotes. Even if you're not buying fake traffic to boost to #1, it's likely you're activating a network of friends, family, or fans to get upvotes.

The result of this is that I mostly think of PH as a popularity contest for teams of people—and not necessarily a ranking system for new products. I don't imagine that many people receive the PH newsletter email, genuinely assess which ones are the coolest, and give an upvote to something they're checking out for the first time. It's mostly friends upvoting friends.

However! PH can be useful for getting feedback through comments. And the longtail benefits of having a listing on there are great for discoverability and traffic over time.

I don't think PH is totally passe, but I try to be realistic about what it means as part of a launch campaign, and I don't think it's worth stressing to hard to "win" the day. That little badge to slap on your website isn't that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things.

Be kind and respectful to your customers. Tell them "thank you" and "you're right" as often as you can. Offer really fast human support when people have bugs, report problems.

Amazing how many startups get distracted with hype and campaigns and forget that a great customer experience can drive Word of Mouth. Kind and responsive goes a long way.

Warp's new Docker extension lets you open a container in a "Warpified" subshell so you don't have to type out super long container IDs when you want to run docker exec in the Warp terminal.

This article explains how developers can obscure secrets like API keys and PII when working in the terminal, which could be useful for developers who screen share or give code demos. Redaction happens using regex as the terminal output is printed. Developers can also set their own custom rules.

"find the best ideas wherever they come from" seems to communicate the same concept

I don't hate that as a way to describe a similar sentiment without invoking comparisons to DEI, which is a separate thing entirely.

I've watched core values get rewritten at multiple companies. Usually happens when new leadership comes in, there's some kind of culture clash and failed change management, managers can't get people to behave how they want so they go deep into a rewrite of the cultural tenets to shake out longtime employees and develop new mantras to enforce. New core values set almost always ends up being a word salad that's less precise and meaningful than the original list.

If you look at OpenAI's original list, they were all adjectives to describe how the team operates. Nice and clean. Consistent.

The new list is a vague, unfocused mish-mash of concepts ("Team spirit"), adjective pairs ("Intense AND scrappy"), and phrases ("Make something people love"). Some of these things should have been initiatives or objectives for the quarter instead of core values for the whole org.

When I look around at all the "buy once" junk in my house, it's really "buy every two or three years" because most of this stuff isn't built to last.
