This bot is not yet open source but it could be.

ATM it monitors the federated timeline on mastodon.social but very easily this could monitor the local timeline of your own instance.

it runs on node.js and needs rights to write some text files.

If this is something you would used let me know.

@stefan I imagine some of the instances with a large percentage of blind people would selfhost this. I wonder if it could also be made to reply to people on the local instance if they don't include alt text. This instance has blind mods and has to be at least 95% blind users. Pictures without a description are definitively not welcome here.

@stefan @AltTextHealthCheck The bar is just a tiny bit too long on mobile. Maybe one or two characters' worth drop down to the following line. As well, seeing as this is about accessibility, have you considered how screen readers will read the bar, i.e. will it sound like garbage?

Also, should be a capital F on found.

Otherwise it looks great!

@dragfyre yeah I put the % before the bar for screen readers. Open to other ideas what to do about the bar.
