Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Introducing image_preview.nvim - Image Preview for Neovim
On the comments someone (primalmotion) is already using, so yes, it's available on this branch https://github.com/ayosec/alacritty/tree/graphics
-
Zellij 0.31.0 just released, with Sixel support, a new Search feature and custom keybinding hints in the UI
The feature branch where this PR is being worked on works pretty well already, if you want to compile it to use it.

Quick roundup of bitmap graphics availability in free/open-source terminal emulators
alacritty, when using ayosec's graphics branch.

Canard: A Command Line TUI Client for the Journalist RSS Aggregator
Actually alacritty does support sixel, but you have to checkout ayosec's graphics branch. REALLY fast implementation too.

Neovide – a simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform GUI for Neovim
Another problem is that the cursor moves while the screen is buffer is being rendered. The location is only really known once the cursor settles in the same place for some time, which is unacceptable in terms of latency.
The synchronized output extension could be used to do this, though. https://github.com/contour-terminal/contour/blob/master/docs...

Contour: Modern and Fast Terminal Emulator
https://github.com/contour-terminal/contour/issues/382
This apparently does not support the Kitty graphics protocol, just Sixel, which makes it look fairly unattractive to me, personally.

Is there a way to make Dolphin use a terminal app other than Konsole?
https://github.com/contour-terminal/contour Contour has a implementation for this. See this release: https://github.com/contour-terminal/contour/releases/tag/v0.3.6.240

Speeding up incremental Rust compilation with dylibs - Robert Krahn
Now that I'm well rested I decided to compile some similar terminal emulators with clang++ and rustc to see how big of a gap we're looking at. For the C++ terminal emulator I compiled contour with ~80k lines of C++ and over 200k lines when accounting for dependencies (not including dynamically linked dependencies), and then I'm using alacritty with ~35k lines of Rust and over 2 million (!) lines for the whole dependency tree when vendoring all dependencies. Because Rust tries to make most software cross platform with conditional compilation and many of these aren't Linux specific libraries I'm gonna assume it's compiling half or two thirds of the lines of dependencies for this experiment with the C++ compiling probably 3/4ths of the dependency tree considering I'm not on windows.

What terminal emulator do you use?
I have my eyes on this though.
What are some alternatives?
kitty - Cross-platform, fast, feature-rich, GPU based terminal
wezterm - A GPU-accelerated cross-platform terminal emulator and multiplexer written by @wez and implemented in Rust
harfbuzz - HarfBuzz text shaping engine
xterm-addon-image - Image addon for xterm.js
terminal-unicode-core - Unicode Core specification for Terminal (grapheme clusters, character widths, ...)
yaft - yet another framebuffer terminal
nchat - Terminal-based Telegram / WhatsApp client for Linux and macOS
tcell - Tcell is an alternate terminal package, similar in some ways to termbox, but better in others.
iTerm2 - iTerm2 is a terminal emulator for Mac OS X that does amazing things.
jexer - Java Text User Interface. This library implements a text-based windowing system loosely reminiscent of Borland's Turbo Vision system
terminalpp - A C++ library for interacting with ANSI terminal windows.
