Hello, I'm here to seek out a community of other #Disabled people and accomplices.
I'm working to build a non-profit tool to make alt text easier, and I want to connect with folks who can help guide that project toward a useful start.
I've built a proof of concept, but getting it further will take building community. I'm #Autistic, and networking does not come easy to me. Boosting this is an immense help.

Hi, tell us more about this.
Unfortunately the site is on Google servers, and we block Google.
@dsfgs Yes, I'm afraid GCP is what I'm familiar with from work, and so it's where I hosted things.
The idea is a library of alt text, keyed by image, offering a public API for usage in a variety of ways. I designed and built the proof of concept alone, and like any proof of concept it set aside some questions, so first priority of the next iteration is getting more input from potential users about usage and other considerations.
Happy to dive into more detail if you'd like.
