Comment on ThumbHash: A better compact image placeholder hash

Comments

The results are pretty impressive. I wonder if the general idea can be applied with a bit more data than the roughly 21 bytes in this version. I know it's not a format that lends itself to be configurable. I'd be fine with placeholders that are say around 100-200 bytes. Many times that seems enough to actually let the brain roughly know what the image will contain.
