UI Notification Service

Notifications can be annoying and disruptive. They can also deliver timely helpful information, or expedite the user's workflow. Here is some high level guidance on when and how to use them:

  • Notifications should be non-interfering (timely, relevant, important)
  • We should only show small/brief notifications
  • Notifications should be contextual to current behavior/actions
  • Notifications can serve warnings (acting as a confirmation)
