SplatHash – A lightweight alternative to BlurHash and ThumbHash
Hi HN, I built SplatHash. It's a lightweight image placeholder generator I wrote to be a simpler, faster alternative to BlurHash and ThumbHash. Repo: https://github.com/junevm/splathash
In plain words
SplatHash is a lightweight image placeholder generator designed as a simpler and faster alternative to BlurHash and ThumbHash. It generates placeholder images that load quickly while a full image downloads, reducing the need for complex encoding and decoding processes. The tool targets developers building web and mobile applications who need efficient image loading solutions. Its primary advantage is reduced complexity and improved performance compared to existing placeholder generation methods.
