Toast

Toast in computer programming refers to an event notification system used within software applications. It allows programs to send brief, non-intrusive messages—often appearing as small pop-up notifications—to inform users of events like completion of a task, errors, or updates. Think of it as a temporary alert that doesn’t interrupt your workflow but still provides useful information. Toast notifications are commonly seen on smartphones and desktop applications, offering quick, unobtrusive communication to improve user experience without requiring immediate action.
