      What do you think about the Kitty Graphics Protocol?

        I like Kitty Graphics. I like graphics in the terminal for two reasons:

        1. integration with MC (midnight commander) style directory browser to show previews of jpegs, pdfs, etc.
        2. w3m web browser. I like being able to use that super-light weight webrowser when working/coding to keep me focused.

        Reason (1.) works with Kitty. (2.) does not. (2.) is pretty esoteric so I think sixel will probably die out soon due to the user base?

      I get that Sixel is old AF but is there a new standard or is it just an open sea of fragmentation where everybody picks some branched attempt at doing the same thing and rolls with it instead?

        Kitty Graphics Protocol seems to be the new one they’re pushing
