The Ruby Blocky Image Viewer

tl;dr: terminal image displayer that’s a shameless re-write of icat for Ruby

Summary

So you want to see an image, but don’t wanna leave your precious command-line?

jp2a makes you sad...

img2txt is just weird...

There is a better way!

• Higher definition output (2 pixels per character!)
• Standard definition output (1 pixel per character!)
• Width and height controls!

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
