Is that what you mentioned once nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s? It looks like it was invented after we already had blurhash happening on Damus.

yeah thumbhash is way better from what I understand. I am sad i discovered that after I did blurhash.

> One potential drawback compared to BlurHash is that the parameters of the algorithm are not configurable

not even a drawback

Even the drawbacks are features.

What I'm saying is that you couldn't have discovered it because it didn't exist yet, but I don't know if the dates match.

Doesn't matter, we should probably migrate anyway.

Whats the benefit?

Is it worth the hassle to update?

Just look at that website and see for yourself.

Unless those pictures are lying.

Clever to use higher res luminance channel.

I'm the only one that really dislike this blurry images? I understand the hypothetical benefits, but I think that at the end they are just a computational and perceptual waste.
