#### A simple terminal image and GIF viewer with iTerm or Kitty

A small command-line application to view images from the terminal written
in Rust. It is basically the front-end of [viuer](<https://github.com/atanunq/viuer>).

It uses either [iTerm](<https://iterm2.com/documentation-images.html>) or
[Kitty](<https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/graphics-protocol.html>) graphics protocol, if supported. If not, lower half blocks (▄ or
\u2584) are displayed instead.
