Can it show pics via ASCII art?


Yes, but they all come out

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


That's not ASCII, that's Unicode (or Shift-JIS, or JIS X 0201...)



Or, if you want to evoke the 70s for ... some reason... use tektronix terminal emulation built into xterm: http://www.dim13.org/teapot


It'd be doable to set up something with aalib[1] or libcaca[2] (for color support) - the resolution would be pretty bad though ;)

I'd give it a shot myself, but unfortunately I'm not familiar with Go or Tinder's API.

Just use feh and you would be all set.

EDIT: feh is a X11 command line image viewer. I use it all the time with w3m (Console web browser)
