QA teams deserve better than SnagIt
Hey HN, Screenshots of bugs are no substitute for reproducing issues, but clearly annotated/laid out images do go a long way for developers to understand what’s going on and start working on them sooner. These remain an odd amount of work/overhead to do well— no one is going to fire up photoshop here, and most QA folks I’ve talked to have a simple trick or two up their sleeve for assembling screenshots/repro content quickly. A friend of mine’s spent the last few years working to improve this process and threw together what’s quite possibly the most functional screenshot tool…

Most feedback tools are built like people actually want to report bugs. They don’t. Unless you make it dead-simple, or better yet - a little fun. After shipping a few SaaS products, I noticed a pattern: Bugs? Yes. Bug reports? No. Not because users didn’t care but because reporting bugs is usually a terrible experience. Most tools want users to: * Fill out a long form * Enter their email * Describe a bug they barely understand * Maybe sign in or create an account * Then maybe submit it Let’s be real: no one’s doing that. Especially not someone just trying to use your product. So I built…

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,…
