Text browsers can offload image to an external image viewer. You follow an image link, and it spawns child process. This is in my ~/.mailcap and it works fine this way with Lynx:

image/gif; feh -FZ %s
image/jpeg; feh -FZ %s

I was trying to write a board reader with python using ncurses bindings, but I have a lot of trouble figuring out how to draw things together, I imagine having to spawn a new window or panel per thread reply and then I've yet to be able to sanitize the thread's json so it's not full of garbage, nevermind not being able to actually wordwrap the content to fit in a cell. There are times I really wonder if I'm partially retarded.

This. The misspelling fags aren't just AIDS carriers, they're useful idiots for niggers in politics like Obama who intentionally misspell words like missile in documents to obscure his illegal dealings.
