I don’t see a reason to add an extra dependency and extra code, for something that exists.

What do you try to achieve?

There are additional features that have been previously identified as being desirable for the notifications mechanism.
These include:

  • the ability to show multiple notifications at once, i.e. stacking notifications.
  • customizable durations for notifications.
  • notifications that must be explicitly dismissed by the user.

From that perspective simple-notify does indeed seem attractive.

However, we should consider whether it might be better to implement this ourselves instead of leaning on an external dependency, especially since some of the code is not really needed in terms of creating DOM elements etc where a wikitext based approach would be more suitable for the core.
