What is python3-blurhash
python3-blurhash is:
BlurHash takes an image, and gives you a short string (only 20-30 characters) that represents the placeholder for this image. You do this on the backend of your service, and store the string along with the image. When you send data to your client, you send both the URL to the image, and the BlurHash string.

The string is short enough that it comfortably fits into whatever data format you use. For instance, it can easily be added as a field in a JSON object.
