Re: "A script to generate Chafa galleries for gmi"
Some more notes:
- If no gallery name is provided, it defaults to current date for gallery title and retains original file names.
- You can supply several image file types, comma separated.
- Feel free to change the chafa settings in the script. Currently it is set to output 240 colours, dithered, foreground only (for better compatbility), at a size of a 128 characters (felt the right mix). See the chafa man page for additional settings.
And let me know what you think.

It's in the links, but Chafa is a command line tool to convert images to ANSI / ASCII art for displaying in the terminal. Pretty neat. Many Gemini clients like Offpunk rely on it.
