I'd be curious: Did you use any of the existing Rust UI frameworks? (Druid, Iced, Femtovg, etc) or is it all custom build on something like wgpu? If it is all custom, congratulations the rich text layout looks really, really good (something of a sore spot in the current set of pure rust UI frameworks).

Great product! I signed up for the beta, excited to try it out.

Thank you! The UI framework is entirely built in house with the help of Nathan Sobo (co-founder of the Atom text editor). We definitely considered a few of the options on https://www.areweguiyet.com/ but ultimately found none of them supported the requirements we wanted.

You can find more details about why we decided to build our own UI framework in the "How Warp Works" blog post we wrote here: https://blog.warp.dev/how-warp-works/
