Okay, I have made a pull request for my "media lacks description" feature on Mastodon. We'll see how it goes!

Also if you want to see an example of what I consider an acceptably detailed pull request for a user-facing feature... check it out.

[DATA EXPUNGED]
FiXato

@darius might it perhaps also be an idea to include a class or other target to the enclosing post, so those wishing to hide the entire post if one of the media is lacking a description, can do so, since :contains still isn't a thing in CSS?

@darius see edit of my previous post πŸ˜…
Though if you still think it a good idea, perhaps data attributes for the amount of undescribed media could help with situations where a post contains a mix of described and undescribed media.

@FiXato oh yeah thanks for pointing out that edge case. I think I want to avoid that for now but I'll make an issue to consider it in a future Hometown release

@darius neat! i wonder if a good companion feature to this is community sourced alt text. not sure how to prevent abuse against something like that tho πŸ€”

@darius Love it. Centered could solve the inconsistent corner problem. πŸ™‚
