## What it is
Drops is a small Swift microframework for showing brief alert/toast notifications in iOS apps, similar to the system alert shown when copying from the pasteboard. It works with both SwiftUI and UIKit and supports queuing, light/dark mode, and VoiceOver accessibility.

## Use cases
- show toast notifications in an iOS app
- display a brief alert when user copies to pasteboard
- queue multiple consecutive alerts in SwiftUI
- show accessible alerts announced via VoiceOver
- show drop alerts from top or bottom of screen in UIKit

## When to choose
- you need lightweight toast-style alerts on iOS 13+
- you want a single API that works in both SwiftUI and UIKit
- accessibility support like VoiceOver announcements matters to you

## When to avoid
- you need fully customizable or richly styled banners
- you target platforms other than iOS
- you need alerts with complex interactive content

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: ui-components, animation, accessibility
- domain: mobile-development, frontend
- platform: -
- tags: swiftui, uikit, alerts, toasts, microframework, voiceover, ios, swift, mobile
