Nice to see something like this built in Go, my personal favourite language to code in.

Does this support Wayland? It's not clear, I can see someone has raised the question in an issue.

I've been using kitty for a while which supports GPU rendering and has Wayland support too.

I'd love to know about Wayland support as well. I'm pretty stuck on Alacritty right now, but I'll always check out something else compatible that has sixels and ligature support.

I believe it supports sixels and ligatures (but I haven't tried those, I don't care much about them).

It works on Wayland - I'm running it under Sway and I'm very happy with it. It also supports server/daemon mode where server does all the rendering and shares glyph cache between windows - lower memory usage & faster startup.

It does indeed support Sixels, and is super fast too. Also, the official build only runs on Wayland afaik (my friend tried to build it from source in xorg but during compilation it would check for a wayland environment and then fail). Pretty sure there was an xorg port floating around somewhere though.
