Re: graphics.js limited to 16-color ANSI

Are there plans to enhance graphic.js in the future? Any alternatives to graphic.js?

I don't know of any pending improvements to graphic.js, but it certainly is like most things in Synchronet, up for change as wanted or needed. If you feel like adding additional ANSI sequence support to graphic.js and submitting a PR, it'd likely be merged into master.

I believe the ANS->MSG conversion that happens within would make this challenging, at least in my use case, since I don't think you can do 256 colors with CTRL-A codes (can you?).

No, Ctrl-A codes are limited to the usual ANSI.SYS/CGA palette.
