Sixel is not supported on my Alacritty (the main terminal I use) https://www.arewesixelyet.com/

Hence we will build a base character based image rendering and allow sixel for terminals that allow it.

This is a fun part of the application to just try out rendering images LOL

Maybe to also write a png decode 😄 https://www.w3.org/TR/png-3/#13Decoders

PNG Decoder (Delayed)

• Create a decoder to for png

Image rendering on terminal:

• Start by rendering an image with terminal symbols
• Try to create an algorithm for the above mentioned behaviour

Why do we need image rendering?

• Potentially attaching images for reminders
• Improve my knowledge
  • Testing my knowledge and learning something new, like how to render images in the terminal
  • Potentially understanding how to decode certain image formats

How are we going to implement it?

1. We can add attach button support for reminders
2. We could start the cli and support opening images (hkb-cli open-image)
3. Build a prototype on the main app
