It started with an SSO project. I was building an IDP server — the kind that handles authentication across connected domains. I wanted a Google-like widget, the one that shows up and says " Hey, you switched accounts " or " Welcome back, Pratham. " Clean. Branded. Satisfying. So I built a toast that shipped via a script tag directly from my IDP server . It worked. But it was rigid, tightly coupled to my server, and offered almost zero flexibility for anything outside that one use case. That bothered me. So I asked myself — what if the toast could live anywhere, independent of my server? What if any project could use it? That's when I found out you can just... make your own npm package. I set a target of one night. And in that one night, robot-toast@1.0.0-beta.0 was born. I have no idea why I made them robots. It just felt right. I built a playground to see how it looked from the outside. Posted it on Reddit, LinkedIn, sent it to some friends. People had opinions. Good ones, bad ones, weird ones.…
