`dp` (:one: ), `dip` (:two:) or both (:zero:)?

I vote for `dip` as it has some mnemonics as "device-independent pixels"

<@U579VR96E> What made you pick `dp`? What do you think about using `dip`?

To be fair I just never used `dip`. Google search shows 481mm results for `dp` and _just_ 80mm for `dip`. I’ll be honest I thought nobody uses `dip` really :smile: I now realized it might just be me  and my friends, in which case having both makes perfect sense

I thought’s it’s kind of like `match_parent` vs `fill_parent` — the other one is there, but it’s not really used

From the other hand, google uses `sp` and `dp` in xml, so why should we use other naming? :slightly_smiling_face:

Alright, so I'm not dropping `dp`, but it'll see an incompatible change as it'll now return `Int` (instead of `Float`), unless you use the upcoming overload that takes a `Float`. I think I'll leave `dip` here not deprecated for at the very least one release. Your input might influence whether I deprecate it and drop it later.

Hi, are we planning to change this `dp` and `dip` API?
If you have any plans or vision for it, I really want to help here and submit the PR for the same. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi <@UPFEDEWRG>, it's planned, I just had a few changes in my life, plus seeing family, plus changing priorities at work, and ongoing publishing process changes for Splitties (CI speed-up among other things) that made me not publish a version in a while.

Next release (dev versions are not considered as releases) will have it.

Cool, do let me know if I can help :slightly_smiling_face:
