so, yeah, the other thing i want it to do is pop up a waveform display (#braille #unicode, or maybe #sixel? #whynotboth) to let you cut album rips into tracks. gonna need it for the original content too, since some of that is only archived on #youtube by this point...
i already implemented that feature in #tek, now i just gotta copy it over... ugh, i need motivation, and concentration, and medication!
Gotta give @amin props for turning me on to [Kew], the terminal music player.
This stuff is the cat's meow. It even has smexy #sixel album art and a histogram/visualizer worthy of cava.
Very easy to compile, too. Always a plus.
* R.L. Dane has flashbacks of Chernobyl-like meltdowns while compiling utilities written in Rust, lmao
P.S., @mirabilos you can add smexy to WTF, if you like. XD
I read it on fb one time and it stuck for some silly reason. I don't usually go for neologisms, but that one tickled my brain.

I really love #presenterm #linux console slides tool, it is great does have #sixel support. But I haven’t found reasonable tool for charts. I mean #gnuplot is great, but I find myself impossible for me to produce heatmap there. So I have produced in one or two hours command line tool (read code glue) consuming vega-lite high level grammar of interactive graphics to do the job. So I can plot directly in #terminal and presentern. Now I am afraid to release those about 50 lines of typescript.
Rendering markdown in terminal is cool, but how about different sizes of text? This tool got you covered!
**mdfried**: A markdown viewer for the terminal.
Supports rendering images and big headers.

@lupo hey, thanks for the suggestion, I didn't know about chafa at all yet!
Though I like the idea of #sixel, it doesn't seem to work (yet?) on the Linux console, so in this specific case, it's a dealbreaker. Hope this can change in the future, though. Already we can use the framebuffer to even play videos (!!!), why not modern image rendering?

What about chafa / Sixel?
Albeit not all terminal emulators do support Sixel, and it does not work in the console, AFAIU.

@nikitonsky I wish we could #sixel or otherwise put images inline with terminals. That might go a long way toward putting diagrams "in" with code.
But using the diagrams for input? At that point it's not just code anymore. There has to be some extra-special tooling to support it. Or a VM. I guess Smalltalk is able to do this. But it certainly changes the nature of code as we typically think of it now. The "side artifact" seems inescapable.
Though maybe something like org-mode fancied up so you could toggle between data representations and diagrams/widgets?
| R.I.P Natenom #TIL about #lsix (https://github.com/hackerb9/lsix) and calling #xterm with the option "-ti vt340" to be able to display inline images inside an xterm—thanks to lsix having just arrived in #DebianUnstable: https://packages.debian.org/sid/lsix
These inline images (or the backend used to display them) seem to be called #sixel graphics. And they're said to work transparently through SSH. Maybe better than #chafa or #catimg.
#BloomScrolling on the terminal! 
I NEED EVERYONE TO STOP WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

@dragestil @thomasadam The #Eat terminal for #Emacs by @akib recently added #Sixel support. Via eat-eshell-mode that then works also in eshell.

@beka_valentine And one characteristic all classical terminals strictly have is that they can only handle characters they have in ROM.
Whether that's #ASCII or even #Sixel...

Great news! Thanks to a lot of hard work from topcat001 (Anindya Mukherjee), the -portable version of tmux now has SIXEL support.
Why this is this cool? Well, it means images rendered directly into the terminal can now happen, via conversion to SIXEL where appropriate.
One such use-case is with #gnuplot.
As an example of both, see the screenshots I've attached here.
To enable this, you will need to pass a flag to configure:
./configure --enable-sixel
Please do give this a go. This isn't released yet, so if you want to try this, you must do so via git.
Note that you will need a compatible terminal to make use of this -- in my case, that's #xterm and as such, all I needed to do was add the following to my ~/.Xdefaults file:
XTerm.*.decTerminalID: vt340
XTerm.*.numColorRegisters: 256
... and then run `xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults`
Enjoy!

Initial vt340 #sixel graphics support! NOTE: "pris" stands for "print raw image sixel". Other ascii art subcommands were already supported

I code on #terminals since 40 years, text-only, and since 10+ years I wait for mixing graphics - and then you realize, #SIXEL (inline graphics) is available since forever, except most terminal emulators like #gnometerminal don't support it. black-box does support it but gnu-screen doesn't, here what's possible (aichat not yet released):
TIL my #Sixel takes a better #30SecondCommute video than my #Akaso. I also need to adjust or tighten the bands on my #QuadLock handlebar mount. It's not designed to handle a phone hanging vertically off the side.

I just realised that you can render #ConwaysGameOfLife in a terminal using #Braille, and indeed use it for drawing arbitrary monochrome graphics. I shall write a library for this and given that there are six dots available for use as pixels I shall call it #sixel. I fail to see any problems with this!
