A better compact image placeholder hash

1. lqip-modern

   1 1 334 6.5 JavaScript

   Modern approach to Low Quality Image Placeholders (LQIP) using webp and sharp.

   

   I open sourced a version of what Evan calls the "webp potato hash" awhile back: https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/lqip-modern

   I generally prefer using webp to BlurHash or this version of ThumbHash because it's natively supported and decoded by browsers – as opposed to requiring custom decoding logic which will generally lock up the main thread.

   SSIMULACRA 2. Perceptual metric.

   

   I was thinking about that too. Can't answer the question, but I did come across this just the other day: https://github.com/cloudinary/ssimulacra2 Supposedly good for comparing image similarity. Might depend on your use-case, I think it's geared towards image quality moreso than similar photos.

   Looks like it's made with https://github.com/fogleman/primitive

5. unpic-placeholder

   Pure-CSS image placeholders

   

   Small heads-up, you might want to look at the PRs (I've opened the single open PR) :D

   Take a look here: https://github.com/ascorbic/unpic-placeholder. Recently created by a Principal Engineer of Netlify, which kind of server-side-renders BlurHash images, so that they don't tax the mainthread. Maybe the same can be done for ThumbHash (I've opened an issue in that repo to discuss it)

   A fast tiny tool for working with compressed textures

   Wow, nice! I wrote a BC1 encoder in JS, it is quite simple :) https://github.com/photopea/UTEX.js/blob/master/UTEX.js#L198
