> That said I really hope we don't settle for Sixel. It's obsolete and inefficient. That's a questionable assertion, as some people report watching movies in a terminal with mpv -vo sixel This is possible because sixels are widely supported, which is the most important part of any format: you can then build on the existing ecosystem and showcase new uses at the same time. > We should make a new standard Even if we assume getting everything right on the very first try, the odds of success of starting a new standard + having it supported by the various apps (ex: gnuplot, mpv...) are much lower than having terminals support the existing standard then implementing the new standard in apps / in the terminals. Sixels exists and can be used right now.
