## Where to use it

Good for any product where people talk to each other. On a second-hand marketplace, a buyer asks “Is the bike still available?” and this chat notification toast drops in with their initials, so the seller can answer without leaving the listing. It feels like a phone notification, which is exactly what people expect from a chat.

Show a preview of the text, not just “New message”; the content is the reason to click. Make the whole toast open the conversation. If several messages arrive at once, group them by person instead of stacking one toast per line.

````text
I want to add the “Incoming message toast” block (Toasts) from AIMRAN Library to my project.

## What it is
A chat-style notification drops in from above with the sender's avatar, name and message, plus a little bounce.

## Chosen settings
- Main color: #0071e3
- Secondary color: #8ec5ff
- Size: 16px (from 12 to 24px)
- Speed: 1x (from 0.5 to 2x)
- Text: "See you at six?"

## What I need
1. Add it to my project with the same look and animation as the reference code: same sizes, colours, radii, shadows, timings and easing.
2. It is built with plain HTML and CSS (the reference wraps it in a React component with its CSS). If my project uses something else (Vue, Svelte, Astro, plain HTML…), translate it without losing any behaviour. If I use Tailwind, turn the styles into classes; if not, keep the CSS in its own file.
3. Expose the settings above as props (or CSS variables) with those values as defaults.
4. Make it work well on phones: nothing that depends only on hover, touch targets of at least 44 px and no overflow on 320 px screens.
5. Make it look right in light and dark mode.
6. Keep it accessible: semantic HTML, roles and aria-* where needed, visible focus and keyboard support.
7. Respect prefers-reduced-motion: with reduced motion, no big animations but the same end result.
