There certainly is an SVG thing but I don't remember the name.

I think Blurhash is the way it is because Wolt is an app and not a website, so the decoder is already loaded when you open it. For browser use, SVG would be more straightforward.



SVG would be much larger for the same image, it's XML based.


True, but we have GZip for that, and you don't need a lib to parse it. Actually, it would be nice to compare the overall size needed for both Blurhash lib + a bunch of hashes vs a bunch of SVG placeholders glued together.


It would be nice if there was a way to translate/transcode Blurhash directly to SVG with a small piece if TS code.
