Was expecting the common "background-image: data url + filter: blur" that a lot of static site generators produce, not a binary encoding algorithm implemented in CSS! Very impressive.

I wonder what other things could be encoded this way. Those generic profile pictures, perhaps? (The ones where your email or account id is hashed to produce some unique geometric pattern.)
