I am copying this from a friend, because I can't share it the regular way. I have added a few extra tags so that both the blind and sighted community can be made aware of this wonderful project.

"Broadfork, Boosted from @KuJoe: For those of you on mobile (and desktop) who find it difficult to write alt text for images you upload, I’ve built a simple website to do it for you.

It’s very basic right now, but it uses Google’s Gemini AI to write the alt text for images you upload.

Current testing indicates I probably need to dial it back to make the alt text less detailed, but if you’d like to try it out and see if it works for you then feel free:

It has just come to my attention that there is only one developer of Friendica. It's a truly wonderful site, with a lot of potential, particularly for those of us coming from Facebook. It allows for extremely long posts, local posting, and you can follow and interact with people from various sites in the Fediverse. But there are a few issues regarding screen reader accessibility, and perhaps some things that I'm not aware of. I have therefore decided to create a Friendica development tag, in order to find people who are willing and able to help resolve these issues.
