Use the Atkinson Hyperlegible font by default?

@dansup Please make the Accessibility setting more accessible:
Use bigger fonts with better contrast in the Accessibility settings! Do not use small grey fonts for the description.
Replace the grey background of the slider with a colour that provides more contrast.

@dansup hide posts without alt text is a really great idea ngl.
maybe (if possible) a "translate alt text to language automatically"

@dansup One thing that I think could help with the alt text is something that says "here's all your images without alt text, in order of engagement: you can enter alt text for them below."

@dansup Dark Mode has been a major issue for me in the iOS beta due to contract issues.

The cursor and text selection are impossible to see, and the keyboard and context menus don’t respect the system-wide dark mode.

@dansup support LLaVA or similar model for alt-text generation describing images.

The @IceCubesApp for Mastodon does this very well (see example image and auto generated alt text below) and may be worth a look. Also this article from @joe was useful for me in understanding where to start with this.
