How accessible is this plugin?

    I’m doing some research on accessibility and trying to implement some things in to my code base. For inspiration I was looking in to what you had implemented.

    What I first noticed is that the message is all the way at the bottom of the DOM, which means screen readers only pickup the text if they navigate first over all the content of the page.

    Next there are no aria labels on the message nor the pop up window. I would figure an aira-expanded='false' toggle would be nice to add to the elements that expand content on click to announce to the user that something has changed. And for the “My Settings” button a `aria-haspopup=’true’, because it does pop up something on screen.

    I myself found the following article very helpful implementing these features for a similar element on my site. https://www.accessibility-developer-guide.com/examples/sensible-aria-usage/expanded/

    What is your stance on accessibility for this plugin?
