An option to load images instead of ASCII.
We don't have the feature to show images alongwith the info box. It would be cool if we got that. And please provide the binaries of the rewrite version just like the archives one.
This is possible, but it would lead to a LOT of bloat. And I'd need to figure out how to go about this.
Unlike just displaying text, rendering images require one of various things, and most require custom terminal setups to get it to work.
If I wanted to add image support, I'd have to go adding support for sixel, w3m, kitty, etc, that way images can reliably work.
I can provide binaries, yes, though my memory is always pretty bad at remembering to keep them updated.
I should look into a CI for providing builds automatically.
Ok but adding image support would a great thing. Try adding support just for viu. That would be easy I guess. Thanks.

I'll start providing binaries manually upon next major release.
In the meantime I'll look around for some sort of CI which can automatically build and upload.
As for images, I don't want to just support one thing.
If I do end up supporting images I'll most likely add support for as many things as possible.
