Svelte solved React's async/await problem. Time to switch? 👀

Things I wish were table-stakes in every web app: - Typing auto-focuses main input - Enter submits forms - Esc closes modals - Validation on blur, not while I'm typing - Let me decide whether a link opens in a new tab or not What else?

At Warp, we have something called fix-it Fridays where we code fixes for top user issues/feature requests. Here are some we've been working on lately. ❤️MCP Session restoration ❤️Warp as default terminal ❤️Keyboard configs for Agent Mode vs Terminal Mode ❤️Better starter prompts…

Man, I just love modeling state in @sveltejs 🧡 - State vars are just properties on a class - Complex values, like this cursor position, can be $derived from other state. Svelte figures out when to recompute - Go-to definition shows all the usages of that state too

New podcast episode is out with @BHolmesDev on how he builds and uses @warpdotdev youtu.be/EkXimXl_0Lk

I just listened to the 6 hour @dhh interview with @lexfridman. It was incredible. Still, there was one part I disagreed with: open source should be driven by self interest. I have some perspective from working at Astro, so I wrote a response. Enjoy 🙏 bholmes.dev/blog/open-sour…

Sent this to a coworker today. Open sourcing this template for next time

💡 Did you know you can hit @ in Warp to grab file paths with autocomplete? Makes `git add` so much easier!

Warp now has a much better secret redaction UX! 🔒 Default regex for common patterns (IP, Google API) 🔒 No more leaking secrets in demos or livestreams 🔒 Add your own custom regex pattern

👀 Did you know Chrome DevTools has a watch function? Type any JS expression, and it’ll update in real time. Great for watching focused elements or aria attributes
