Nice and simple, but unfortunately you lose all accessibility with a .png diagram. Specifically, they're impenetrable to screen readers.

- hmottestad 2y agoApple has gotten really good at text selection in images. I can take a screenshot of a webpage and then select the text in the screenshot, or I could take a photo of a sign and select the text in the sign. Do you know if there is anything similar for screen readers?

- tyre 2y agoFor screen reader accessibility, isn’t text a better option? If I were working with an engineer who uses a screen reader, I’d document heavily in text. Good practice anyway, since diagrams aren’t great at depth.
- johntash 2y agoWhat are the alternatives for diagrams? Would an ascii diagram be better? I'm not sure if screen readers would ignore all of the random characters or not. I'm assuming just a text description would be better, but I don't know what other options are available.
