Gregory's Server@darius Very cool!
Would like to see the platform scan the image file for a comment/description to use as alt text. This means the user adds it to the image once, rather than every time they want to post the picture somewhere.
Also would love to have the platform save any added alt text in the image file, instead of simply wiping all metadata.
Descriptive text should travel with the image.
@mlibby this is more of an issue with images themselves at the moment. Some of the different popular image formats (like PNG) allow for metadata but there is no standardization across formats. So even if it wrote descriptive metadata no other software would know how to use it.
Completely agree that images should function as you describe but that's a massive standardization problem that I think would take years of coordination across many organizations.
