Firefox will start supporting `ariaNotify` in release 150. 🎉

`ariaNotify` allows you to provide text that should be announced by a screen reader if available and activated. No more fiddling with live regions. No more fiddling with live regions! 💪

document.ariaNotify( `Item ${item.name} added to cart!`, { priority: "high", }, );

Is ariaNotify a thing in Safari?

Accessible notifications using `aria-live` or `role=status`, etc., aren't a straightforward task. Updating the DOM is hard to get right and anything but convenient.

That's why the Edge team proposes and trials a new DOM method — ariaNotify(). 😱

I like it!

// Dispatch a message associated with the document. document.ariaNotify("John Doe is connected"); // Dispatch a message associated with an element. document.querySelector("#text-editor").ariaNotify("Selected text is bold");

"This thing is developer catnip, and I don’t mind saying that I was really excited to try it out — after which point I willed myself to tuck it away in a drawer and put it out of my mind."

> That’s what gets you, with accessibility work: quick-and-easy decisions made in isolation can have unforeseen consequences in the context of the overall experience, and unless those assumptions are tested very carefully — early and often — we can’t know what those consequences might be.

I am excited about ariaNotify(), y’know, in a measured, cautious way. It finally gives us a way to address a use case that has plagued the web — and me, personally — for years, in a shockingly easy way. So easy, in fact, that it makes ariaNotify() just a little bit dangerous. I mean, not for us though, right? Because we’re all gonna be cool about this, right? Right.

ariaNotify API works!
Testing with a WCAG working example by @patrickhlauke.bsky.social, the video illustrates the messages being conveyed for an uploading document progress bar "0%, 15%, 35%, upload complete" This is captured by a small app I am building "ARIA Testify"
