Surprised not to see a mention of sixels, it would fit the overall tone of this thing.

- jart 6y agoSixels is is an old feature from a couple DEC terminals that lets you print small BMP images in the terminal. We wouldn't be hacking the terminal if we were asking it to the things it was intended to do. I'm much more excited about KiTTY's new graphics protocol since it's very nearly DirectX for ANSI.

- throwanem 6y agoSixels aren't widely supported in modern terminal emulators, and where they are supported I've found them to be super slow. Fun to play with for sure, but not something I've found any real use for.
