web perf and a11y at @notion.com
I can't seem to DM you on bluesky, is there anywhere else I can send it?

Also happy to DM you my email for any feedback in the future 🙂

Thanks for the feedback about the Open button only appearing on hover, I will take a look. I would also suggest trying Notion in Safari with Talon, would love to know how it compares to Chrome/Arc, since I'm noticing issues with how Chrome presents a11y semantics to the OS for voice control.

Please let me know if you'd be willing to continue sharing insights with us as we make Notion more accessible. I think your feedback would be valuable to make sure we get this right!

I want you to know that while we're in the early stages of support for assistive tech like Voice Control, we have a team actively working on improving a11y. I want to be transparent that it will take time to implement properly. Videos like yours will help us understand the impact of this work.

Hey Salma, I work on Notion’s engineering team on accessibility. I want to thank you for sharing this video, it shows real limitations in our Voice Control support. Unfortunately this is a familiar experience for most people using assistive technology, and I'm sorry that Notion failed you this way.
