What is the pattern description? about pattern-directory

Maybe, though that might be ok. I imagine there will be some limit for the length of the title. If we start to see lots of patterns with ridiculously long titles, then it would be a good sign that we need to add a new field.

I initially thought we'd have separate fields for "marketing copy" and the "alternative text," but seeing it in practice worried me a little:

The title, details, and alt text are all kind of asking the same question but with very subtle differences in the expected answer.

My designs have all been expecting some "marketing-type" text, but perhaps we don't need it right now.

Instead, maybe we should focus on the pattern's title and categories as the primary descriptors, and include the accessibility text as an optional field when submitting.

This will change the pattern detail's page, replacing the details with the pattern's categories:

I like it! Do you think that might lead to overly long titles though?

Description has been implemented in the submission modal.
