        possibly the answer is "not as placeholders, but it's a fun way to specify a gradient"???

      huh, Twitter really doesn't like rendering those. here's some screenshots of the same images taken from the BlurHash website

    tiny little ASCII placeholder version of an image, so you can load the placeholder from the database & have something to show while the proper image loads in blurha.sh @wordvoid/1600637627257958400?s=20&t=ryyWNimpxkxjWaaw12mNgw

      ofc, unfortunately i read up on JPEG-XL when i saw people annoyed that Chrome was yanking support for it, and now I just want JPEG-XL support. smaller images! saliency based progressive decoding, so the bits you'll look at will get fully loaded first! opensource.googleblog.com/2021/09/using-saliency-in-progressive-jpeg-xl-images.html

        (ok ok, it's kind of a different question, you still gotta do a separate request for the image, this just displays it while the image data is coming in, not before you got any image data)
