That’s good but bsky needs work. I tried looking for alt text. Eventually figured out it’s microscopic text at the bottom of the page if I don’t have my browser zoomed in too close, lol.
Please, I need advices because I wanted to add alt text on my visual puns for my advent data riddles calendar but I don't know how to do that without giving the riddle away (also asking @frankelavsky.bsky.social )
As I've been struggling with this sort of thing myself, how about a literal description? Looking at your most recent one - "Line graph with the x axis labelled 'time' and the y axis labelled 'development'. The line for the data series does not go to the end of the x axis."
Thanks a lot, and @frankelavsky.bsky.social as well, I tried this for today's post but I find it really hard to not "give it away" by describing the chart. Or maybe we dont' care? But then, there's no riddle and no fun anymore, isn't it a bit sad? I'm split between the two
I love that you're thinking about it and trying anyway! It's possible that it won't be as fun the first few times you try this, but I bet over time you'll get better at making riddles with the written clues too.
Late in coming back to you, but I think there's scope for having fun with this. I went for ultra-literal, and that was a bit cold - if you're okay with more of a clue you can start to talk about the line stopping suddenly, and then you have lots more verbs and adverbs to play with.
Thinking about it - you might need an intro first to say what the point of the graphic is, ie "A graph that contains hints about the name of a TV series..."
Including the title, which is in text within the image, is the only real addition I'd make to your alt. So before that description: "Data riddles calendar. Which series hides behind this chart? 11 - 24. [Insert description]"
You were literal and descriptive and gave parts and pieces to assemble. A+

The answer is: today. I totally forgot today. Guess I have to go turn it on now.
