## What it is
TSMessages is an Objective-C iOS library for displaying customizable notification banners at the top of the screen, in the style of Tweetbot. It offers built-in success, error, warning, and message types with swipe/tap dismissal and easy theming.

## Use cases
- show in-app notification banners on iOS
- display success or error alerts without blocking the UI
- add Tweetbot-style toast messages to an Objective-C app
- customize notification themes and designs
- show temporary status messages under the navigation bar

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Objective-C iOS app already using TSMessages
- you need a simple, lightweight banner notification library for older iOS codebases

## When to avoid
- starting a new Swift project - use SwiftMessages instead
- starting a new project at all - the library is officially unmaintained and users are directed to RMessage
- you need actively maintained iOS notification UI

## Facets

- function: ui-components, animation

- platform: -
- tags: objective-c, notifications, in-app-notifications, cocoapods, tweetbot-style, unmaintained, ios, mobile
