Ratatui Notification Library - thought it might be useful

[5ocworkshop]

What feature would you like to see?

A few months ago I made a little animated notification library for ratatui to add toasts and animated notifications that slide in, like the classical "slide up from the bottom corner" notifications about friends being online and so forth. I decided to dust it off this weekend and update it and polish it off so I could post it on github.

It occurred to me that it might be useful for just-every code, as more agentic workflows come into the mix and there is more for the user to keep track of. The API has a number of slide, animate, fade, or basic options and nine anchor positions.

Have a look at the repo here: https://github.com/5ocworkshop/ratatui-notifications

Screenshots don't really do it justice, but there are two in there. To make it easy to use I build a quick demo and a cookbook, both of which you can press 'i' when your desired notification is active and you can see the code and write it out to a file to make integration super easy.

My original inspiration was the notifications in the Yazi file manager but I extended the idea quite a bit. I hope it might be useful in the TUI.

I'm improving the API a bit and revamping the demo/cookbook. Hopefully will have it updated today and will post a video so it makes more sense.

This is probably a better demo although the frame rate isn't idea to capture all the animations and effects, but you get the idea... https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/l3o6me7kyczogrdl225fp/Recording-2025-12-16-024041.mp4?rlkey=1tkq1ym9iso6uy864p13orjrl&dl=0

This has gone through a clean sheet re-write and has turned into a wide scale ratatui animations and effects library. I think you'll find it interesting to consider. When it is available, I will send the details.
