What AUR Only packages do you use which are not available anywhere else?
I developed this program, ueberzugpp, and it was only available on the AUR for some time at the beginning because I decided to only maintain that package. After a while it got some traction and people decided to create packages for other distros and the AUR exclusivity ended.

Awesome! What's the difference between this and hologram? Would you like to support sixel so that it can be used in other terminals like alacritty?

[markdown] Hide "#" syntax item of headings?
hologram doesn't work for you? Although, there's a bit of an issue with images disappearing and to get them back I have to replace a character in the image's link.

View images when SSH
There are some plugins to display images in nvim (edluffy/hologram.nvim), but it depends on the terminal and graphic protocol you use

How do you deal with GUI needs on nvim?
kitty terminal can show image https://github.com/edluffy/hologram.nvim but i use peek.nvim to preview markdown

veil.nvim - dynamic, component-based startup screen
Hi good stuff! Is there any plans for hologram.nvim integration?

Pets.nvim: my new useless plugin!
Nope, I used the hologram.nvim plugin to display the images, and it uses the kitty graphics protocol. That is why it only works with kitty.

kirby.nvim - fuzzy picker based on kui.nvim
The images can be drawn anywhere on the screen. Drawing inside an editor isn't too much work but requires some bookkeeping to handle scrolling, cropping and windows closing. See https://github.com/edluffy/hologram.nvim for an example of what is possible.

flirt.nvim - Plugin for working with floating windows (animations, mouse, etc)
Im actually using hologram.nvim integrated with neorg (it only works in kitty + pngs for now)

Looking for best method to take math notes with figures and images
Basic image manipulation/preview. This includes: 1) the ability to call external tools (draw.io/inkscape, etc) for simple image creation and insertion on the fly 2) removing an image link from markdown also removes the corresponding file 3) file preview inside neovim buffer. I just discovered a plugin that make this possible: hologram.nvim, has anyone tried it out?
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ueberzugpp and hologram.nvim you can also consider the following projects:
image.nvim - 🖼️ Bringing images to Neovim.
viu - Terminal image viewer with native support for iTerm and Kitty
