I saw your message but was hesitant to respond with disappointment.

I'm sorry my interest in this is not as large as yours!

I think the end result could be cool, but overall not very practical. I wrote my program to include "images" in my text-only articles (http://len.falken.ink/philosophy/is-privacy-in-all-our-inter...), but really I can't imagine a real useful application. We (the world) is much better off to adopt a real "images with text" format which works nicely with terminals (for now this appears to be sixel and the proposal by kiTTY).

Thanks, I will get in touch!

I want to release a new version of tmux-sixel first.

Plots of datasets are extremely helpful! It is much faster to use gnuplot over ssh than to download a subset of data
