kitty doesn't have Tektronix vector support right? Would be cool if they would consider adding.
But something interesting happened recently which is that it is now apparently a given that terminal programs support raster graphics. At least, the people at r/command line were treating it as such when someone recently posted a program that requires something like kitty graphics protocol to work at all.
The kitty raster protocol is somewhat efficient. It could be interesting to combine that with some ideas for low latency lightweight computing and social networking.
The simplest version of that might be just to have a group of people start setting up some type of BBSs over ssh, but designed to upgrade the graphics just slightly over ANSI, or even perhaps combined with ANSI. People could use emulated vector monochrome graphics for some screens if they wanted that Tek vibe.
Another step up possibly would be to make a few STUN/TURN servers or some setup so people on IPV6 could find and each other even if at home and if IPV4 still connect with whatever NAT traversal or maybe there can be such as thing as ssh over WebRTC? That might not make sense.
You could also make it content centric and set up something to easily do RSS over IPFS (I assume that exists) with a group that has agreed they will target ANSI plus kitty graphics with some set document size limits to keep things fast and lightweight.
Because kitty graphics are based on escape codes, you might also use such a social network for distributing lightweight (binary size limited) web assembly applications and games that are designed to run in a terminal supporting that. Because web assembly runtime support for text output is good I believe.
I do think that there should be some built in load latency or data size limit tested and enforced somehow to ensure that you keep the snappiness possible with text interfaces.
