SUMMARY:Improving Notification Handling with AriaNotify

DESCRIPTION:https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/308e7ede-24d8-4eab-b8fb-03e3
 3d795bd0/\n\nFor people who are blind or have low vision\, identifying dyn
 amic changes (non-user-initiated) in the content of a web app is very chal
 lenging. ARIA live regions are the only mechanism available today that com
 municate content changes down to the accessibility layer so that users can
  hear about them.\n\nARIA live regions are inconsistently implemented\, ha
 ve poor developer ergonomics\, and are being used in ways that they weren'
 t designed for (e.g.\, as a confirmation of action or notification-like AP
 I for changes unrelated to "live regions"). We propose an imperative notif
 ication API designed to replace the usage of ARIA live regions in scenario
 s where a visual "live region" isn't necessary.\n\nThis talk will provide 
 an overview of the proposed solution\, [AriaNotify](https://github.com/Mic
 rosoftEdge/MSEdgeExplainers/blob/main/Accessibility/AriaNotify/explainer.m
 d)\, what will be included in the first version of the API\, and what func
 tionality we are hoping to work with ATs to unblock improved notification 
 handling for authors and end users.\n\n**Goal(s):**\nAPI Overview and Feed
