+## 2024-05-15 - [Loading Skeletons Lack ARIA Roles]
+
+**Learning:** Generic `div` elements used for visual loading skeletons are invisible to screen readers, leaving users unaware of active background loading processes or structure.
+**Action:** When implementing generic loading skeletons, wrap the visual primitive in a container with `role='status'` and `aria-busy='true'` to expose the loading state properly. Additionally, apply an `aria-label="Loading"` to give more context.
