 * Hello —
 * I’m wondering if there are any plans in the next update to have plugin recognize
   the data-pin-description attribute?
 * When pinning images to Pinterest, the alt text is what’s currently being pulled
   for the image. Alt text description are for use with screen readers for the visually
   impaired (providing a description of what’s contained in the image).
 * Ideally, pin descriptions are contained within the data pin description.
 * There are many of us who are excited to use this as an alternative to Social 
   Warfare because it’s so stable and lightweight. But the inability to pull the
   data pin description for pins is a major issue.
 * Thanks, Natalie

 * Thanks for your patience on this, Natalie. I hope to have the next release out
   within a week, maybe two. The Pinterest button has gotten somewhat unwieldy and
   I need to check and make sure the parameters are all correct and where they need
   to be. I’m also making sure that the plugin will do what it ought in Gutenberg,
   at least at a minimal level.
 * Right now, I’m planning to add the optional Pinterest description in the same
   area as the optional Pinterest image, although you can use one without the other.
   I may need to work on the descriptions to make sure that’s not too confusing.

 * I so appreciate your responsiveness Robin! We’ll be recommending this plugin 
   through out the Simple Pin Media community! (I’m the operations manager for Simple
   Pin). Also, MaAnna Stephenson highly recommends your plugin for being lightweight.
 * So excited to have found the perfect solution for social sharing!
