@slightlyoff @kurtextrem that is very cool indeed
Some upfront processing, ease of implementation on each tag? My favorite kind
I added a link to my notes about this kind of front end tricks

@GuillaumeRossolini @slightlyoff
Here's a good article that you could add to your list, which summarizes the options and concludes that lqip images are probably a better options than blurhash/thumbhash. https://www.mux.com/blog/blurry-image-placeholders-on-the-web
But this css-only approach seems to be the holy grail - essentially 0 data transferred, instant rendering, good-enough/comparable placeholder image fidelity!
