BlurHash - an interesting concept of image placeholders in web applications

Blurhash is a JavaScript library designed for generating and decoding Blurhash codes. A Blurhash code is a short string that represents a blurred image, enabling the fast display of a low-resolution grayscale version of an image before its full-resolution counterpart is loaded. This technique is perfect for web and mobile applications wanting to enhance user experience and minimize loading times. With Blurhash, users can see a rough approximation of what the full image will be, which helps them assess the content before it fully loads. Projects like Instagram utilize this technique to provide a better user experience. Coupled with intuitive documentation, Blurhash makes it easy for developers—regardless of their image processing expertise—to implement blurred image solutions effectively.
