Hi react-icons team. I'm currently messing around with your icons on one of my webpages, and I noticed that there is no way to specify the alt text attribute for the images in the icons. This leads to a screen reader just reading "image" for each icon, with a screen reader user having no way to identify what the icon itself does.
This is an extremely important issue because it means that every single site using these icons is not WCAG compliant, because all images are required to have alt text.
The way that I was planning on using the alt text for the icon was to say what the button itself would do, or give it the null alt text attribute using alt="". Please let me know if there is something wrong with how I am using the icons, or if there is a way I could contribute to the project with a PR myself.
Thanks!
Nick
