[Feature request] Image accessibility for blind & partially sighted users
This is on Hubzilla 8.2.
There are many blind and partially sighted users on the fediverse, and image alt text is important for accessibility.
Currently alt & title attribute of an image tag in Hubzilla (8.2. here) show only the uploaded file name to the outsid world.
For a quick improvement, is this possible?
• alt & title attribute should mirror the Title data entered into Photo Tools->Edit Photo
• the respective field to enter the title tag in "Edit Photo" should be a self-expanding textarea, just like in "Edit Profile Details -> Miscellanous -> Tell us about yourself"
• there should be a dedicated "Alt Text/Description" field for this instead
One might consider to better
• add the option for an image description directly to a Post window, upon uploading or adding an image from the database to the post.

Let's make Hubzilla accessible.
