Hi - Warp engineer here. Totally understand your skepticism and hesitation.

Regarding open source, we want to do it for parts and potentially all of the code. We plan to open-source our extension points as we go. You can read more about this here https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/discussions/400.

We have also talked internally about having penetration testing.

As for our business model, the terminal is totally free for individuals and we want to make a terminal so useful for individuals that their companies will want to pay for the team features.

The general philosophy is that we would never charge for anything a terminal currently does. So no paywalls around SSH or anything like that. The types of features we could eventually charge for are things that have a cost to us, for example enabling real-time terminal collaboration.

I'd much be more likely to pay for something like a widget that hovers next to my actual terminal, with tons of key features, tips and all that good stuff.

There's just absolutely no way I'm going to trust some random application with my sudo password.
