   Ah, so you need to see "All Notifications" to have the #Wrapstodon ""link"" show up. Only it's not a link, it's a <button> with React.js event listener, so you can't share it as a link :(

     @ctietze @patrick_h_lauke Wasn't able to do it in such a way that we'd be able to automatically generate an image from it.

     @patrick_h_lauke I guess it's because @Gargron isn't happy with how far they got with that feature this year, so no good placement or share-ability for 2024?

     @ctietze oh yeah, was wondering if i'd missed something here... christ, not even a "share" button or something on that thing. no wonder folks are doing the "let me share a screenshot of this thing" bollocks #wrapstodon

     @Gargron @ctietze that's the point: you don't want to share this as an image, you want to share it as a link so that other people can see it (and screen reader users can explore the info directly, rather than relying on individual users trying to add alt text to it that captures all the info there). in short: let users link to their wrapstodon results...

     @patrick_h_lauke @ctietze If you look at Spotify Wrapped or Steam's Year in Review, they're always being shared on social media as images, not links. However, if we could programmatically generate an image, of course the "Share" button would also correctly fill the ALT text.

     @Gargron @ctietze because yeah, for the most part i'm seeing folks share a screenshot with either *no* alt text, or something generic like "my wrapstodon!" which of course is pointless for screen reader users because it still doesn't give them any of the info actually there.

     @Gargron @ctietze "everybody else is doing it this way" is not the best excuse. again, to be clear: for accessibility (and general usability), you'd really want to be able to send folks to an HTML destination - it's not about having shareable images, but shareable links

     @Gargron @patrick_h_lauke FWIW Steam and Spotify aren't already social networks -- I would've also liked to e.g. boost a post that's only visible to me by an admin account, or follow a wrapstodon account first that then sends me the stats
