Finally, I hope that trend catches on. God knows how many messages are missed thanks to toasts.

>Toasts pose significant accessibility concerns and are not recommended for use.

yeah. OBVIOUSLY. good fucking riddance.

they wouldn't be half as bad if they always came with a notification center for seeing the ones you missed... but the other half is still incredibly bad and isn't worth using at all.

Are they really? Isn't it pretty normal "role status aria something something polite" thingy to announce feedback to user?

Any toast can be an inline message in my experience

Toast pros:

- once set up, very easy to build, no “design” required

Toast cons:

- easy to miss

- at risk of layout issues (overlaying other information)

The tradeoff is real, but if the resources allow, I’d drop all toasts.
