Feature request: loading responsively #237

First of all, kudos for an excellent, light-weight script.

Have you given any thought to being able to load different images, depending on page size (or media query)?

Here's the use case: For desktops, I'm using the slider with a max-width of 1200. That means my 5 jpgs in the slideshow each weigh in at around 200 KB (for a total of 1MB for all the photos). If I wanted the burden to be less to my mobile users, it would be great to be able to specify another set of photos, scaled at a more appropriate width (say 700px).

I can probably do it with two instances of the slide show, using jQuery or CSS to direct which gets served, but given that the slideshow is responsive, being able to specify a second (or more) set of photos with thin the call would be very nice.

Thanks, Gary

I combined it with https://github.com/scottjehl/picturefill, working quite nicely so far...
