    Hi HN community, I’m Zach, founder and CEO of Warp, and am excited to show you Warp, a fast Rust-based terminal that’s easy to use and built for teams. As of today, Warp is in public beta and any Mac user can download it. It works with bash, zsh, and fish. The terminal’s teletype-like interface has made it hard for the CLI to thrive.

    I got tired of open file.docx → wait 8 seconds → close Word just to read a document, so I built a terminal-native Word viewer! What it does: * View `.docx` files directly in your terminal with (mostly) proper formatting * Tables actually look like tables (with Unicode borders!) * Nested lists work correctly with indentation * Full-text search with highlighting * Copy content straight to clipboard with `c` * Export to markdown/CSV/JSON Why I made this: Working on servers over SSH, I constantly hit Word docs I needed to check quickly. The existing solutions I'm aware of either strip…

    I've built a static web app called IMDb SQL Best Movie Finder that lets you query a database of 1.5 million IMDb titles using SQL directly in your browser. It’s entirely client-side, so all the data processing happens locally on your machine — no server involved.
