## What it is
AntiModerate is a tiny JavaScript library (under 2KB gzipped) for progressive image loading. It renders blurred micro thumbnails inline while full-size images load in the background, then swaps them in when ready.

## Use cases
- speed up page load on slow connections
- show blurred placeholder while images load
- progressive image loading like medium.com
- reduce perceived load time for image-heavy pages
- render tiny base64 thumbnails before full images finish

## When to choose
- you want a very small, dependency-free progressive image loader
- your pages are image-heavy and served over slow connections
- you can generate tiny base64 thumbnails at build time or upload

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained solution with recent updates
- you prefer modern native lazy loading or CSS-based placeholders
- you cannot pre-generate micro thumbnail data URIs

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: image-processing, frontend-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend, image-processing, performance
- platform: browser
- tags: progressive-image-loading, blur-placeholder, lazy-loading, stackblur, tiny-library, javascript
