  <p><ol>
    <li>Loads the <a href="https://github.com/kilobtye/potrace">Potrace Lib</a> (6KB min+gzip)</li>
    <li>Starts loading the full res source image</li>

      <li>Uses Potrace to generate an svg from the thumbnail</li>
      <li>Colours and fades the SVG in as a crisp, full-size placeholder</li>
    </ol></li>
    <li>Once full res loaded, overlays the svg with a nice fadein transition</li>
  </ol></p>
  <h2>FAQs</h2>
  <p><ul>
    <li>🚫 No build step required!</li>
    <li>🦉 The SVG is generated on the fly from the source image</li>
    <li>🎒 It requires an extra network round trip (to fetch the thumb from Cloudinary)</li>
    <li>🌈 You can pick any colour for the svg</li>
    <li>💅 The SVG can be animated / styled however you want</li>
  </ul></p>
