Responsive images

See original GitHub issue

I was wondering how you would handle images at different resolutions depending on screen size. There’s now great browser support for <img srcset="…">, but I can’t find anything in the documentation on how you would use this.

Has anybody managed to do this, or have any thoughts on how this would be achieved?

To me, using srcset means you drop a single high-res image somewhere in /src, and the build pipeline chops it into a set of images of various resolutions (so browser can pick at load time) and drops them in /build. That’s how it works in Jekyll.

I don’t think it’s a feature too fringe; screen sizes vary widely and every web developer has to address this.

I’d love to see at least a hint in the docs on how to deal with it.

We were considering responsive raster icons, which would be less than 10kb. I really don’t think the right behaviour there is to inline every version.

Is it worth keeping this open so people can at least discuss approaches that might work?
