  • standards-positions

  • Yes, I wanted to show it is at the top of trending, but still Firefox position is "neutral": https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/pull/741

  • thumbhash

    A very compact representation of an image placeholder

  • Webp took a long time to get some broader adoption but it fulfills the roll of jpeg: a decent enough quality looking picture but at a reduced file size. However, it is based on the VP8 video codec. So in other words, you can think of it as a still frame of a VP8 video. This has some disadvantages because it can only load the image line by line from top to bottom (as opposed to a kind of blurry but progressively improving picture like a slow loading jpeg). So this leads to tricks like storing a very small thumbnails version and loading the actual original image. But tricks are tricks, and they're a bit annoying to deal with. For a very advanced version of this "store a small version and load that first" check this out https://evanw.github.io/thumbhash/ (it creates a blur that has the the appearance of the photo that's loading but it can do it within bytes of data).
