🍞 Kitten toast, anyone?

A fifteen-second demo of how you can create a toast message in 42 lines of code¹ without writing any client-side JavaScript using Streaming HTML² in Kitten³.

@aral Only learned that neologism three years ago. Any idea of the origin? To me and many others, it's a "notification".

The use of a word that can mean either:

1. A charred piece of bread OR
2. A salutation typically delivered while holding aloft an alcoholic beverage

... seems an odd choice for a UX pattern.

@elight Yeah, I guess it came from the analogy of movement between toast popping out of a toaster and how the messages usually appear on screen.

@aral @elight and just like toasters they can't be trusted 😜

So say we all 🤓

@bekopharm @aral So say we all. (There's only one viable reply here...)

@aral @elight I first heard the term in the context of game development back in the mid '00s. The context was that when you unlock an achievement, the game is toasting to your achievement. 🍻
