Can we do something to help Warp's Team ? Perhaps there are some points which can be made public, so we can help to increase the development speed ?

Hi @copper pollen. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

The Warp team is actively working on developing Warp for Windows and they are making good progress. While there isn't a specific call for community contributions to this effort mentioned in the provided sources, there are a few ways you can support the development:

  1. Stay Updated and Provide Feedback: You can sign up for updates on the Warp for Windows release here (https://www.warp.dev/windows-terminal). Staying updated will allow you to provide timely feedback and suggestions, which are invaluable for the development process.

  2. Participate in Discussions: Engage in discussions on Warp's Discord server (https://discord.com/channels/851854972600451112/1247065346809004072) and Github issues (https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/204). Your insights and experiences can help shape the development of Warp for Windows.

  3. Spread the Word: Increase awareness about Warp and its upcoming Windows version within your network. The more people are interested and provide feedback, the better Warp can be.

  4. Contribute to Other Aspects: While not directly related to Windows development, you can contribute to other aspects of Warp. Check out their Github page for open issues or feature requests where community contributions are welcomed.

Remember, the Warp team values community input and your contribution can help them build a better product.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

Based on the available information, there isn't a detailed public roadmap for the Windows release of Warp. However, I can provide you with the current status and some key points:

  1. Release Timeline: Warp is aiming for a release in early 2025. According to a Discord support thread (https://discord.com/channels/851854972600451112/1257391630475071488), a Trusted Support Staff member stated, "Realistically, we're shooting for early 2025 release."

  2. Current Progress: The team is actively working on the Windows version. They've made progress on bootstrapping Warp on PowerShell in Windows Discord support thread (https://discord.com/channels/851854972600451112/1257391630475071488).

  3. Development Challenges: One of the most complex tasks is supporting ConHost / ConPTY, which involves dealing with Windows' adapter between the shell and the terminal Discord support thread (https://discord.com/channels/851854972600451112/1257391630475071488).

  4. Community Feedback: Warp has been gathering community input on shell support preferences for the Windows version Github Issue (https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/204).

  5. Updates: You can stay informed about the progress by signing up for updates at the Warp Windows Terminal page (https://www.warp.dev/windows-terminal) or following the dedicated Github issue (https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/204).

While there isn't a detailed step-by-step roadmap available, the team is committed to developing a native Windows version of Warp. They're focusing on addressing the unique challenges of the Windows environment to ensure a stable and performant release.
