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

I've made another post with a link to a more shareable and complete description of the project and needs. It also includes descriptions of other smaller projects in need to adoption alongside or separately

I posted about brain cancer and hope to find people to pick up the torch on my accessibility projects that I think could help make the web better. I have a major surgery May 29th and time is short. I will only become less able. Summaries and links can be found here: https://github.com/alt-text-org/in-need-of-adoption I'm happy to answer any questions, or just discuss things, but I do ask that kind words on cancer not be posted here, despite my appreciation for them. Boosts and sharing elsewhere appreciated. 💜 Hannah

@hannah Thank you for your activism. As a disabled person, I really appreciate people who work for a better world for us. Also, as the mother of a transwoman I admire your courage in living your truth. I will keep fighting for the rights of LGBTQ+ people.
