Conversation during the 50th Front-End Study Hall (https://indieweb.org/Front_End_Study_Hall) this past Tuesday sparked a goofy idea, so I brought it to life with a quick in-browser mockup and a little @acornapp work.

@Meyerweb @acornapp

Nah, I don't get it. Could you just type that text somewhere, then take a screenshot of that, and then post that image, and then provide an #alttext plz?

@jerrej @acornapp It already has alt text, so you should be good.

@Meyerweb @acornapp

1. Copy text.
2. Open quote.
3. Paste text.
4. Close quote.
5. Presto.

*plonk*

@jerrej I don’t get it, sorry.
@Meyerweb @acornapp "a torn page with a folded upper right corner showing a pink triangle, green circle and blue square; a missing image icon" would be good alt text
@Meyerweb I like the Zen challenge of providing alt text for a non-existent image, though. "Disappointment and a jarring reminder of how fragile the web really is"
