Current Issues and Suggested Improvements

1. Image Insertion Workflow

Problem

• Generated details (ALT/Title/Caption) don't carry over when inserting images through the Gutenberg Post Editor (Insted .

Suggestion

• Implement seamless integration between the Media Library and Post Editor.
• Ensure all generated metadata is automatically included when inserting images.

The video shows that no alt text is applied automatically, and you have to re-add the image. This is not great.

2. Existing Post Handling

Problem

• No functionality for existing posts with images.

Suggestion

• Add a "Generate Alt Text" option for images in existing posts.

• Implement both individual and bulk generation options. There should be an option to take Alt text from the Media Library or generate a new one since pre-generated Alt-text in the Media Library is not used in the existing posts/pages.

3. User Interface Improvements

Problem

• ImageSEO stats are only visible when viewing posts, not when editing.

I think it could be added in the widget described in the "2. Existing Post Handling"

Suggestion

• Include ImageSEO stats in the editing interface to provide real-time feedback.

4. Bulk Editing Capabilities

Problem

• Lack of bulk editing options for images across PUBLISHED posts/pages.

Suggestion

• Implement a bulk editor that can generate and apply metadata to images for existing posts/pages.
• Could you include appropriate warnings about potential issues? This is irreversible and can overoptimize existing published posts/images

Here is an example from AltText plugin:

5. Pinterest-Specific Images

Problem

• No option to generate vertical images for Pinterest.

Suggestion

• Add a feature to create Pinterest-optimized vertical images as part of the social media image generator. The Standard Pinterest image size is 1000x1500. Or longer vertically.

6. Refresh

Problem

• Need to refresh or switch images to see generated details.

Suggestion

• Implement real-time updates so users can see generated metadata immediately without refreshing.

The current state could be better when uploading new media in the post-edit view.
