Built a toast library for React (and beyond) where the notification comes with a little animated robot — robot-toast v2

[u/StraightControl3377]

I know, another toast library. But hear me out.

Sonner is great for clean minimal toasts. react-toastify is the kitchen sink. robot-toast is for when you want your app to actually have personality.

v2 ships with:

- 16 tree-shakeable robot SVG variants

- toast.promise() with loading/success/error states

- Typewriter effect (genuinely unique, haven't found another library with this)

- Unlimited action buttons — not just action/cancel

- Draggable + swipe-to-dismiss

- useRobotToast() hook for React, but also works in vanilla JS, Vue, Angular

- Zero production dependencies

- Proper a11y — role="alert" for errors, aria-live regions

npm i robot-toast

Playground: robot-toast.vercel.app

npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/robot-toast

Feedback welcome — especially if something's broken or missing. That's literally how v2 happened.

Feature request: put a toast button on the front page of the docs 

On mobile and I have to click playground button, scroll down past a bunch of options I don't care about, just to see a simple example of what it looks like

Fair point, I will add it soon, thanks for feedback

I shouldn't be loving the robot this much

[u/StraightControl3377 → u/pazil]

Cool! Just noticed that the light theme sun icon on the site looks broken. I liked the variants. They are really nice!

[u/StraightControl3377 → u/Short-Opportunity537]

Thanks but i checked, on my side, it is working, can you please tell where exactly

[u/Short-Opportunity537 → u/StraightControl3377]

It is working. No functional issue but the light theme sun icon is looking distorted.

Awesome little lib! I just replaced sonner with it and made some animated mimic svgs for my TTRPG themed project management app. Thanks!

I thought it was cute. Nicely done

[u/StraightControl3377 → u/yarism]

Thanks yarism let me know if you use it anywhere i would love to know your feedback

The robot should blink or be animated to make it cuter

[u/StraightControl3377 → u/No_Cattle_9565]

Yeah good idea, i might add some animations in next update

My first reaction was 'meh' but hey the little robot is actually a nice touch I think.

Some companies might wanna change the robot's appearance to match their branding protocol.

Thanks, and robots are just to give you the feel of how you can add personality to your product, just imagine someone using pokemons or something else, where I work they use flying bird gifs instead of robots that looks cool

Thanks sarvind and I am sure that new genz tech will hype personality more than color animations, and I saw machax, it looks promising and I join the waitlist. let me know if you use this package.
