How do folks view the alt text on mobile? With Firefox I can long press on the image and it'll show me part of it, but to see the whole thing I have to use the "Page > view source" but that isn't available on Chrome, nor iOS Safari AFAIK
I much prefer SMBC's "red button" for accessibility, but xkcd is unlikely to change just for mobile users
- WorldMaker 8y agom.xkcd.com has the alt text in an expandable section underneath the comic. It's such nice experience it's silly that you have to change the domain to use it, Randall should just copy that to the main site. But just swapping a www for m (or if no www, adding an m.) to the URL is easy enough. (Before m.xkcd.com I'd often jump over to the Explain xkcd Wiki, which is another good option.)
- rejschaap 8y agoChrome on Android shows it all. There is also the mobile version, which has a button to show it. https://m.xkcd.com/2138/ https://m.xkcd.com/2138/
- guu 8y agoIf you long press the comic in safari you can see the alt text.
