Viu
A small command-line application to view images from the terminal written in Rust. It is basically the front-end of viuer. It uses either iTerm or Kitty graphics protocol, if supported. If not, lower half blocks (▄ or \u2584) are displayed instead.
Based on the value of $TERM, viuer decides which protocol to use. For half blocks, $COLORTERM is inspected. If it contains either truecolor or 24bit, truecolor (16 million colors) will be used. If not, it will fallback to using only ansi256.
This is a Sailfish packaged build of the original project:

Now with (self-built) Rust 1.75 (and LLVM 16) available, viu is on par with upstream!

I managed to only build 1.3.0, as at some point Rust requirements jump beyond 1.52, which is available on Sailfish SDK.
