Retina Image Core Ability?

[bobrocke]

A wonderful feature that might well differentiate Grav from others even more would be the built-in ability to deal with responsive images.

Perhaps if the Markdown markup called for an image in the traditional way, Grav could be smart enough to know the screen resolution of the display and serve the regular, or the @2x image.

Possible?

We'll look into the feasibility of this. Thanks for the suggestion.

I think this is not something that Grav should do all by itself, because it is being solved by two new HTML features (srcset, and picture) that are already implemented (Chrome) or being implemented (Safari, Firefox) on the most modern browsers, and Internet Explorer will eventually implement them, too:

• http://caniuse.com/#feat=srcset
• http://caniuse.com/#feat=picture

Given these two new HTML features, it would be indeed great if Grav would generate code with srcset and picture automatically, either when certain markdown markup is used, or, maybe even better, when there are image files with some suffix, eg:

• boat.png
• [email protected]

I think this one must be covered now with the changes in grav 0.9.16 plus the srcset-fallback plug-in.
