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.

Forking Chrome to Render in a Terminal
Sixels are pixels and enjoy a wide support due to how old it is.
Kitty protocol is PNG or primitives - which BTW would make it great for a GUI library.
Different tools for different needs, but if you are going for a wide support you want something simple that doesn't have 5 different types you have to separately implement and test:
> d: Direct (the data is transmitted within the escape code itself)
> f: A simple file (regular files only, not named pipes or similar)
> t: A temporary file, the terminal emulator will delete the file after reading the pixel data. For security reasons the terminal emulator should only delete the file if it is in a known temporary directory, such as /tmp, /dev/shm, TMPDIR env var if present and any platform specific temporary directories and the file has the string tty-graphics-protocol in its full file path.
> s: A shared memory object, which on POSIX systems is a POSIX shared memory object and on Windows is a Named shared memory object. The terminal emulator must read the data from the memory object and then unlink and close it on POSIX and just close it on Windows.
> What nonsense, it takes literally 15 lines of code without using anything beyond the standard library to write a client
Conveniently taking a preencoded PNG and assuming away the necessary queries of supported protocol:
> Since a client has no a-priori knowledge of whether it shares a filesystem/shared memory with the terminal emulator, it can send an id with the control data, using the i key (which can be an arbitrary positive integer up to 4294967295, it must not be zero).

A command line tool that draw plots on the terminal
Also:
https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel
contains img2sixel, which lets you dump images to the terminal. It can also do animated GIFs.

Emacs on an iPad
Not sure of Terminal emulator capabilities on Apple devices, but thanks to https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel , several applications, including emacs very much support image output in terminals.

What color do you use for your terminal?
You don't have multi-colored terminal output? Even legacy systems have long had Sixel support.

Are We Sixel Yet?
> SIXEL is one of image formats for printer and terminal imaging introduced by Digital Equipment Corp. (DEC). Its data scheme is represented as a terminal-friendly escape sequence. So if you want to view a SIXEL image file, all you have to do is "cat" it to your terminal
