Future of echo

[jonathan-fielding]

Hi All

I wanted to start an open discussion about future improvements to echo, I am looking to do some serious work on the library to clear the backlog of issues and potentially look at how the library can start to work with the new HTML picture element.

Any ideas for improvements would be welcome and this post seems like a good place to start. Aside from that I would love more people to be contributing so also reply if you think you could help.

This was my approach to lazy loading the picture element, also supporting picturefill: https://github.com/callumacrae/whtevr

It's getting difficult to pick a lazy loader these days... Lately, I stumbled upon https://github.com/callmecavs/layzr.js from @callmecavs. It works like a charm.
