+## 2024-03-03 - Missing ARIA Labels on Icon-Only Actions
+**Learning:** Across the dashboard components (Notification Bell, Friends Card, Community Card), icon-only interactive elements (`<Button size="icon">`) frequently omit `aria-label` attributes. This is particularly critical when these buttons contain dynamically updated information (like unread counts) or loop-generated content (like messaging a specific user).
+**Action:** When working with or creating new icon-only buttons, always ensure an `aria-label` is present. If the button acts on a specific item or has a dynamic state (e.g., notification count), the `aria-label` should reflect that dynamic context (e.g., `aria-label={"Message " + user.name}`).
