What Hacker News says
2 sources[`mcat`](https://github.com/Skardyy/mcat) - cat but built for the world beyond plain text.
It aims to give you the ability to use many non-text files right in your terminal -- copy / parse / concat / preview, and more!
- Inline display of images and videos using modern terminal graphics
- Smart parsing of documents and code into clean Markdown
- Renders Markdown or HTML into styled terminal views or full static images
- Works with local files, URLs, and even `stdin`
- With interactive outputs too (zoom and move around big images in the terminal)
- ls command using images
