Show HN: Sixel-tmux displays graphics even if your terminal has no Sixel support
I tinkered a bit with sixel support for my "C64 emulator in the terminal" (https://github.com/floooh/docker-c64), but unfortunately it's way too slow to get anywhere near 'realtime' output (30fps or better).
Here's the (abandondend) sixel-version source code, only with two colors, more color planes would drastically reduce the performance.

I really wish there was a decent pixel-framebuffer standard for terminals (with at least the same performance as curses). This would allow a lot of fun "terminal applications" (e.g. everything that used to run in VGA Mode 13h).

> it feels more like a toy at the moment
It's not! Gnuplot in the terminal open many new use cases, such as examining data on remote hosts with scripts without even bothering to scp the data first.
Also, Notebooks in the terminal is wonderful!
