Warp is a game-changer for terminal lovers like me. It's got a slick UI, cool features like being able to view almost any file in the terminal, plus I love that the terminal experience is the same across all my sessions, including remote ones!

That being said, I'm hoping for more customization in the future around the editor (fonts, colors, themes, etc) and better shell support around ZSH, but all in all I'm loving it! Looking forward to future releases.

Ubuntu, can't launch the app

Sorry, but If you can't launch the app, on what basis are you rating it?
