There's standalone utility catimg (https://github.com/posva/catimg https://github.com/posva/catimg) written in C. It supports animation and 2x "retina" resolution using unicode symbols. Here's blog post about it: http://posva.net/shell/retro/bash/2013/05/27/catimg/ http://posva.net/shell/retro/bash/2013/05/27/catimg/

Does the text in that blog post look very blurry for anyone else?

  No, looks fine for me (Retina display). For those that are interested, I've also released my approach to imagery in the terminal (Python): https://github.com/daleroberts/tv https://github.com/daleroberts/tv

    It would have been nice if you chose a font size where the blocks were aligned, when representing your hiptext comparison. I would also be happy to accept pull requests from you, adding true color support to hiptext.

      Any recommendations for the font size? I'm just using standard Menlo Regular 11. I didn't want to do hiptext any injustice.

    I found the reason in the CSS, “text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #000;”. Can you see the blur if you change the background-color to #fff?
