Rename to something shorter, more explicit or fun/memorable

There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things. — Phil Karlton

True.

responsive-image-widths is not easy to spell (image or images? width or widths?) and type in a shell, so we would like to rename it to something shorter, and either more explicit or more fun/memorable.

Current options:
👍 srcset-sizer
😁 daltons (there is already a dalton package on npm, but there should be no ambiguity)
🎉 BRITS: Better Responsive Image Tools Selection
❤️ RIWAL: Responsive Image Widths et AL.

BRITS (Better Responsive Image Tools Selection)

@jygastaud no mention of width or size, which is the aim of the tool?

@ryuran @vvalentin-ca do you really believe there is no risk with a catchy but non self explicit name?

If the tool is interesting, it will be known by any name in my opinion.

@vvalentin-ca that's a valid point indeed.

RIWAL
As Responsive Image Widths et AL. (which means "and any other things/people/locations" from latin).
RIWAL is easy to say and to remember.
Just any idea ;)

So be it, renamed to daltons!
