Alt Text Hall of FameApr 29, 2024

A few extra seconds of your time it takes to add a good image description can really improve someone's day.

"To a totally blind person like me it means a lot to have a picture in my mind of your images, especially the animal pics."

"I don't know what it is, but as a blind user it's making me emotional to be able to actually interact with content."

@alttexthalloffame No idea if it's good practice or not, but I try to add a tidbit or two in the alt text that doesn't appear in the main post. A small joke, something about the location in the picture, what-have-you.

@eaterofsnacks Not blind myself, but from what I can tell, whimsy can definitely be appreciated!
