[Feature]: Blur hashes für loading pictures

[akoyaxd]

Feature detail

When scrolling fast through the timeline (on web), one can see the Name / ID of the image before it loads. I think it would be great visual improvement to load blur hashes before the thumbnail.

In the Apps, it would look better than the black boxes for fast scrolling as well.

Great idea! I think this also depends on the browser that the alt value is shown when there is no picture loaded yet. I assume you use Firefox?

[akoyaxd]

Yes, I use firefox. Didn't try Chrome before, but I can confirm, that on chrome the string is not shown.

Edit: Safari doesn't show the alt value either.

I love the blur hash ideal, though; I honestly didn't know what it is called. Gonna implement this at some points

This was recommended on one of the reddit posts, looks like it has implementations for a bunch of languages 😄 https://github.com/woltapp/blurhash

@bo0tzz can I be assigned to this one? I'd like to try learn a bit of Sveltekit :)

As an interim solution, it would be nice to hide the image UUIDs.
