   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,…

   My OSS P2P file transfer tool for learning Next.js (as a C++ dev)▲16

   Hey HN, I'm a C++ algorithms engineer, and today I'd like to share my first full-stack web project: PrivyDrop. This project was born from two ideas: First, I wanted to solve a daily annoyance of mine: I needed a simple, AirDrop-like way to send text, links, or screenshots between my phone and PC. I tried many tools, but they either required me to sign up, had various limitations, or uploaded my data to their servers, which I was never comfortable with. Second, this was a personal experiment. Last year, with all the talk about "AI replacing programmers," I got curious. As a developer with no…

    Pairlane▲6

    Hi HN — I built Pairlane, a WebRTC-based P2P file sharing tool. Core idea: file bytes never pass through the server. The server only does WebSocket signaling (Cloudflare Workers + Durable Objects), while the actual transfer happens peer-to-peer over a WebRTC DataChannel. It works for: - browser ↔ browser - browser ↔ terminal - terminal ↔ terminal (via an npx CLI wrapper) CLI quick start: - npx pairlane send /path/to/file - npx pairlane receive --output-dir ./downloads Security: - Optional E2E encryption (AES-GCM). The key lives in the URL fragment (#k=...) and is never…
