I built a CLI tool for capturing website screenshots directly from your terminal. It displays images inline using Sixel, iTerm2, or Kitty protocols, so you can preview sites without leaving your workflow.

Built in Rust, it's open source, you can find the code here: https://github.com/allscreenshots/allscreenshots-cli

What's interesting, is that this circumvents permanent DNS blocks that are maintained by the ISPs in my country (Netherlands). Probably not why you built it, but useful nevertheless :-)

That's absolutely a side effect indeed, though the level of interaction with the website is quite limited. But glad you find it useful!

Cool! didn't know you can render images inline in the terminal

Yes, that's why we built it. iTerm has https://iterm2.com/documentation-images.html, and Kitty has the Terminal Graphics Protocol.

This is also a good library which show the image display in action https://github.com/atanunq/viu
