## What it is
humane.js is a lightweight, framework-independent browser notification system that displays unobtrusive on-screen messages using CSS transitions with JS animation fallback. It supports customizable themes, timing options, and works across desktop and mobile browsers.

## Use cases
- show toast notifications in the browser
- display unobtrusive status messages to users
- add themed notification popups without a framework
- notify users of record updates or errors
- create custom notification styles with CSS

## When to choose
- you need a tiny, dependency-free notification library for plain JS or any framework
- you want CSS-transition-based toasts with theme support
- you need broad legacy browser and mobile support

## When to avoid
- you need actively developed features or modern framework integrations
- you want rich notification features like stacking, queues, or action buttons
- your project uses a component library that already includes a toast system

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: notifications, toasts, css-transitions, framework-independent, themable, nodejs
