Hi friends,

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

I built a working, scalable, proof of concept library of shared alt text with fuzzy matching.

I'd like to connect with the #accessibility dev community. I want to hand the project off to a team or a leader if anyone is willing to take it over.

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

Boosts appreciated

A while ago I wondered about something like this! I don't have good self-discipline to manage such a project, but I'll take a look at the Github when I get to the computer.

That said, I wish all the best for you.

@hannah I'm unemployed at the moment and have a bit of time on my hands.

And a lot of technical expertise.

I'd love to help, feel free to hit me up jrlenz@jrlenz.com.
