We spoke with a lot of users (someone mentioned our discord which has thousands of members) and there are thousands of developers using Warp every day (prior to this ShowHN).

We also were expecting some of this response from the HN community, and understand it.

The short answer to your question is that different developers care about different things. A lot of developers are OK with login, telemetry etc (we are not the only tool that has these things), and they exist in our case because it helps us produce a better product experience.

That said, I don't want to dismiss your question - we needed to do a better job understanding the perspective of more developers, and the response on HN has made that very clear. We are going to take the feedback and adjust course.

Thank you!
