Growlesque plugin in 20 lines of code

Introducing Vanilla Notify !

After Playing around with _lots_ Growl style plugins for jQuery, I came to the impression that whilst they mostly looked nice, they all were very bloated and difficult to customize.

So – of course – I rolled my own! Only this one is different.It doesn’t have curvy corners, or callbacks, or other distractions. It’s solid, works well, looks pretty decent and – oh – it’s only _20_ lines of code!

Being simple means it’s very easy to understand and easy to change to your own tastes.
