Hi friends,

The http://alt-text.org alt text library project needs a new leader, because I have brain cancer.

I would like to connect with the #accessibility dev community, something I have never figured out, probably in part for neurodivergence reasons. I want to hand the project off to a team or a leader if anyone is willing to take it over.

Github: https://github.com/alt-text-org
WIP MVP: a site designed for writing alt text with a private library: https://my.alt-text.org

Boosts appreciated

@aral @alt_text That's my hope as well, though the next steps are browser extensions in that area to allow you to carry your archive with you around the web.

I'm happy to announce the alpha release of https://my-alt-text-org.glitch.me/

It's a composer built for writing #AltText, with a number of features still to come. Highlights of the alpha release:

- An archive of everything you've composed with it, searchable by text or image
- OCR with 100+ languages supported
- Text splitting

I don't have the skills to make it #accessible. If you'd like to help with that or more generally there's a link to the GitHub on the page

@aral @alt_text Howdy, I'm working on building the alt text composer I wish social media had. I thought you might be interested given this post, and thanks for your advocacy. More details here: https://social.alt-text.org/@hannah/110759683285054347
