We don't have nearly enough js or css to need help with that, plus I like the idea of keeping everything un-obfuscated. This will be exclusively for images.

Have a source directory hidden from jekyll like _image-originals or whatever, where we dump the full-sized source images used in posts. Posts will reference them by name (minus extension) either directly in the frontmatter image attribute or with an inline tag like {% asset MyCoolGraph %}. The build process will, using an expanded version of the thumbnail plugin, generate compressed @2x, @1x, and preview thumbnail versions of each asset image, referenced by a post and use their full paths as needed in the generated post.
