Hi friends,

The http://alt-text.org alt text library project needs a new leader, I have brain cancer.

I built a working, scalable, proof of concept library of shared alt text with fuzzy matching.

I'd like to connect with the #accessibility dev community. I want to hand the project off to a team or a leader if anyone is willing to take it over.

Github: https://github.com/alt-text-org
WIP MVP: a site designed for writing alt text with a private library: https://my.alt-text.org

Boosts appreciated

@hannah I'm unemployed at the moment and have a bit of time on my hands.

And a lot of technical expertise.

I'd love to help, feel free to hit me up [email protected].

@ralf Hi Ralf, I so appreciate your reaching out. Unfortunately being the one to open conversations is exceedingly difficult at this time, this post took about a month to focus on, and if you're willing to look around github and my.alt-text.org that would be great, but email me at [email protected] with questions and I can more easily get back to you. Thank you so much for reaching out 💜

@hannah I appreciate how difficult even that reply was, just another thing on top of what you're already experiencing. Much respect.
