- andsoitis 8mo agoGood reminder to keep in mind. At the same time, I don't think one should necessarily limit your expression based on constraints like accessibility.
- simgt 8mo agoIs it still true with llms being so good at interpreting it? I just tried all the examples on the home page, it works perfectly. In the past couple months I've moved almost entirely back to the terminal because I can just ask my coding agent to "have a look at this tmux session".
- vulcan01 8mo agoIs there any way to make images accessible other than the alt tag? I'm sure SVGs are more machine-readable, but how would that help vision-impaired folks?
- nasso_dev 8mo agoim not an expert on a11y best practices, but id say an <img> tag with alt text is enough for inline SVG, i read somewhere you can use <title> and <desc> to describe the SVG document, but i don't know how they work in practice
