Add the "Toast" component from notboring to my project.
It is licensed for use in my projects — notboring.dev/license. Please:
1. Create the component at a sensible path for this
project, named Toast, from the source below.
2. Install what it needs: npm i framer-motion
3. Add the CSS to the project's stylesheet.
4. THE PART THAT NEEDS YOUR JUDGMENT. The CSS reads
these custom properties and does not define them:
--card
--font-ui
--ink
--ink-rgb
--on-ink
--pane-edge
They are notboring's design tokens. Map each one to
whatever this project already uses for the same
job — its own ink, ground, surface and UI font —
rather than defining them as new globals. If the
project has no equivalent, define it locally on
the component's own root so nothing leaks out.
Anything ending -rgb wants three bare numbers,
because the CSS builds rgba() from it.
5. IF YOU CHANGE IT, GO ALL THE WAY. This block is
built for every state its object can really be
in — empty, one, full, refused, undone, pressed
twice, interrupted halfway — and not only the one
the demo opens on. Adapt it and the same standard
holds: work out that list before you write, and
build the whole of it. Never settle for the
minimum that makes the screenshot right. A
component somebody has to come back and finish is
the thing this was written to replace.
Keep the comments. They say why the numbers are what
they are, and they are most of what makes this worth
copying rather than rewriting.

Notifications that stack, and step back for the next one.
THE NEWEST IS THE ONLY ONE AT FULL SIZE. Each arrival
pushes what was there a step back — up a little, smaller by
a little, fainter by a lot — so the pile reads as depth
rather than as a column: the thing you are being told now
is in front, and the things you were told are behind it,
still legible, no longer insisting. The obvious build
stacks them upward at full size, and three of those is a
list of announcements competing for the same attention.
Three is the depth. A fourth would be faded to nothing and
still holding a slot, so the fourth is removed — a pile you
can see the back of is kinder than one that fades into the
card.
YOU CAN THROW ONE AWAY. The front card takes your finger and
goes with it, leaning into the travel; past a third of its
own width, or fast enough that you plainly meant it, it
keeps going and leaves off the right edge, and the pile
The rest — the source and its comments — is what the plan opens.
