For http://www.pixtulate.com http://www.pixtulate.com (on the fly cropping and scaling of responsive images) we simply read lots and lots of blogs from the responsive web design community. We eventually narrowed down on a problem everyone was discussing and was trying to build various home grown solutions to. After reading all the great posts by Jason Grigsby (http://blog.cloudfour.com/ http://blog.cloudfour.com/) the problems with sending one-size-fits-all images to mobile and tablet devices was obvious. Additionally, most existing solutions require you to pre-scale/crop multiple versions of the same image which is tedious and labor intensive. Even the proposed srcset attribute and picture element have this requirement. Next, we looked at any existing players in the space and found that a few where starting to crop and getting traction which further validated our premise that people where looking for a robust solution. So, we considered it worth at least building an MVP and will soon be looking for interested parties to try it out (drop me a line if interested - and yes, our site is butt ugly).
