## What it is
Fidget.nvim is a Neovim plugin that provides an extensible, unobtrusive UI for displaying notifications and LSP progress messages in a corner window. It supports configurable vim.notify backends, ASCII spinner animations, and manages its own window lifetime.

## Use cases
- show LSP progress messages in Neovim
- replace vim.notify with a nicer notification UI
- display spinner animations while rust-analyzer indexes
- manage unobtrusive floating notification windows in Neovim
- customize notification appearance and animations in the editor

## When to choose
- you use Neovim and want better visibility into LSP progress
- you want a configurable, extensible vim.notify backend
- you want lightweight eye-candy status notifications without leaving the editor

## When to avoid
- you don't use Neovim
- you need a full notification system outside the editor
- you're on an older Neovim version below the required minimum

- function: ui-components, logging, developer-tools
- domain: text-editors, developer-tools, frontend
