   Warp, a Rust-based terminal▲946

   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. After 20 years of programming, I still find it hard to copy a command’s output; I always forget how to use `tar`; and I always have to relearn how to move my cursor. To fix fundamental accessibility issues, I believe we need to start innovating on the terminal,…

   Ts-SSH – SSH over Tailscale without running the daemon▲103

   ts-ssh solves a specific problem: accessing machines on your Tailnet from environments where you can't install the full Tailscale daemon (like CI/CD runners or restricted systems). It uses Tailscale's tsnet library to establish userspace connectivity, then provides a standard SSH experience. Works with existing workflows since it supports normal SSH features like ProxyCommand, key auth, and terminal handling. Some features that proved useful: • Parallel command execution across multiple hosts • Built-in tmux session management for multi-host work • SCP-style file transfers • Works on…

    Remote terminal via WebRTC, incl. file-transfer – no SSH/VPN required▲22

    Perhaps the easiest way to get a shell on your remote devices wherever they are (even behind NATs and firewalls) -- no VPN required. Offers file transfer right from the terminal itself. Because it is web-based and connects via WebRTC it is better than VPN + SSH in every way: - no setup required on the client machine, it hence works on all OSs and even your phone, - it will always find the shortest-path to your robots, meaning it won’t go through the cloud if you are on the same network as your robot - still end-to-end encrypted - file upload via drag & drop - file download by clicking on…
