I would love an open image format that has alt text baked into the file format and can be read by other apps.

I'd love to see writing alt text done closer to the source, with an ability to customize the existing description for more specific descriptions by other people using the image.

@slimepsychic as someone who honestly occasionally struggles a lot to describe images, them being already described for me either by someone else or myself in the past when i'm feeling more able to do so would be super helpful -- it's like it's accessible in two different ways!

@nu Oh wow, future self would be so happy to find all of that. I try to think like that whenever I can, it can make such a difference.

I started doing this process with my images in Apple Photos when I got here in April. Adding the alt text to the comment is useful. I have to copy and paste it but I have already done the work.
