notie

Notie is a lightweight, dependency-free JavaScript library for displaying simple alert notifications on web pages. It is designed to be unobtrusive and easy to use, providing a minimal API for presenting brief messages without requiring large UI frameworks.

Core features include the ability to show toast-style alerts in several predefined types, such as success, error, warning, and info. Messages can be configured to dismiss automatically after a short period, with the duration optionally adjustable. The library emphasizes simplicity and speed, making it suitable for small projects or pages that need quick feedback without heavy dependencies.

Notie focuses on alert-style notifications rather than full modal dialogs. It provides a straightforward API to render alerts with text and type, typically used for status updates or confirmations that do not interrupt the user flow with complex interactions. For developers needing more elaborate dialogs, separate modal or dialog libraries may be used in conjunction with notie.

Usage typically involves including the notie stylesheet and script in a page, then calling the alert function with a type and message and optionally a duration. The API is designed to be readable and approachable, enabling rapid integration into web pages and lightweight user feedback flows.

Notie is open-source software distributed via their repository and has been adopted in various small to mid-sized projects as a keep-it-simple alternative to larger notification libraries. It competes with other minimal notification tools by prioritizing a tiny footprint and straightforward usage.
