ntcharts-lorem-picsum
April 28, 2026 · View on GitHub
ntcharts-lorem-picsum is a sortable, filterable browser over the Lorem Picsum catalog. Pick an image from the table and it renders side-by-side: half-block glyphs on the left (works in any terminal), full Kitty graphics on the right (requires a Kitty-graphics-capable terminal such as Kitty, Ghostty, or WezTerm).
It exercises the pictureurl package end-to-end — async URL fetch, LRU image cache, error overlays, and the picture.Model Glyph/Kitty toggle.
./bin/ntcharts-lorem-picsum
