Add touch / swipe away support

[oneezy]

Would be a nice to feature to be able to "Swipe" the toast message away (left or right) and also make the toast "stay" on mousedown or when holding down with your finger

Hey, thanks for your comment. On first pass I think the swipe gesture should be easy to implement, but I think there'll be many edge cases to think about, eg. what happens when a new toast is pushed during a swipe etc.

Might take a stab at this soon - marking this as a feature request in the meantime.

ah yeah good point. i wonder how other apps might handle this?

one idea that comes to mind could be to pause new toast notifications from being pushed on mousedown or touch and then resume after

A pause/throttle loop would be generally a good idea.

That said, I think there's another good way, which would be to store the target of the swipe gesture and/or the length of the current toasts at the beginning of the gesture. Then, if you pop/push in a new toast, you can just cancel the swipe or alternatively dismiss the initial target (maybe depending on a sensitivity or something like that?)

yeah definitely! i like the sound of it
