How hard would it to be to get images to be shown in the CLI? Or is that not possible with whatever stock terminal software?

Terminal graphics protocol: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/graphics-protocol.html

Pretty much impossible. There are some programs that can kind of do some images, but certainly not gifs

imgcat can do gif in iTerm

Yes, but only iterm

iTerm can display images, but I don't think there's a universal way to do it. https://www.iterm2.com/documentation-images.html

xterm supports graphics https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2114347/raster-graphics-...
