pixterm - Draw images in your ANSI terminal with true color

•    Go

---

PIXterm shows images directly in your terminal, recreating the pixels through a combination of ANSI character background color and the unicode lower half block element. If image has transparency, an optional matte color can be used for background. Also, you can specify a dithering mode; in which case, the image is rendered using block elements with different shades, or using standard ASCII characters in the same way. In dithering mode, the matte color is used to fill the background of the blocks or characters. The conversion process runs fast because it is parallelized in all CPUs.

With node-exif you can extract Exif metadata from images (JPEG). Exif is a format used, for example, by digital cameras and scanners to save additional information about an image in the image file.

Chalk - Terminal string styling done right

•    Javascript

---

Chalk comes with an easy to use composable API where you just chain and nest the styles you want. Chain styles and call the last one as a method with a string argument. Order doesn't matter, and later styles take precedent in case of a conflict. This simply means that chalk.red.yellow.green is equivalent to chalk.green.

This package provides encoder/decoder implementation for DEC SIXEL graphics, and some converter programs. SIXEL is one of image formats for printer and terminal imaging introduced by Digital Equipment Corp. (DEC). Its data scheme is represented as a terminal-friendly escape sequence.

tty - Toolbox for developing CLI clients.

•    Ruby

---

TTY is a toolbox for developing beautiful command line clients in Ruby with a fluid interface for gathering input, querying terminal properties and displaying information. Building terminal tools takes time. I believe that modular components put together in a single package with project scaffolding will help people build things faster and produce higher quality results. It is easy to jump start a new project with available scaffolding and mix and match components to create new tooling.

ipt (pronounced iPipeTo) introduces the missing cli interactive workflow. It takes any kind of list as an input and uses that list to build an interactive interface to let you select an element from it.

termpdf - barebones graphical pdf/djvu/cbr/image viewer that works inside iTerm2 2.9+ and Kitty

•    Shell

---

termpdf is a barebones graphical PDF (and DJVU and TIFF and CBR and CBZ and JPG and PNG and GIF and BMP) viewer that runs in your terminal. It is a ridiculous hack---a bash script wrapped around some special terminal escape codes and a bunch of command line tools. But it works well enough for me to be useful.

grunt-contrib-imagemin - Minify PNG and JPEG images.

•    Javascript

---

Select optimization level between 0 and 7. The optimization level 0 enables a set of optimization operations that require minimal effort. There will be no changes to image attributes like bit depth or color type, and no recompression of existing IDAT datastreams. The optimization level 1 enables a single IDAT compression trial. The trial chosen is what OptiPNG thinks it’s probably the most effective. The optimization levels 2 and higher enable multiple IDAT compression trials; the higher the level, the more trials.
