Social Proof Toast

Small corner notifications showing real activity. Honest by design: it only shows events you feed it.

Customize the prompt

Build a social proof toast component for my website. Match my existing design system, colors, and fonts.

STRUCTURE
- A small card that slides into a corner of the viewport: icon or avatar placeholder on the left, two short text lines on the right (the event, and a relative time), and a subtle close X.
- Position: bottom-left corner of the viewport.
- Max width around 320px, comfortable padding, soft shadow, rounded corners.

DATA AND HONESTY
- The component reads from a plain array of event objects (name/city, action, timestamp) defined in one config constant, with a clearly marked TODO to wire it to my real data source (orders, signups, reviews).
- Never fabricate events and never randomize names: if the array is empty, nothing shows. Relative times are computed from the real timestamps.

ROTATION
- Rhythm: first toast 15 seconds after page load, then one every 40-50 seconds. Discreet presence.
- Each toast shows for 5 seconds, then slides out; 150-200ms animations.
- Close X stops the whole rotation for the session (sessionStorage flag).

QUALITY
- Toasts never cover interactive page elements on mobile: on small screens they sit above the bottom edge with safe-area padding and shrink to fit.
- role="status" and aria-live="polite" so screen readers announce without interrupting.
- Pause rotation while the tab is hidden (visibilitychange) so toasts do not queue up.

QUESTIONS
- Before you build, find or ask for: where my real events live (orders, signups, or reviews, and which tool or API holds them), and what each toast is allowed to show (first name, city, action). Check my project and site first; whatever you cannot find there, ask me for. Never invent these or ship placeholders.
- If anything else about my brand or content is unclear, ask me before inventing.

What it does

Social proof toasts are the little cards that slide into the corner saying someone just ordered, signed up, or left a review. Watching other people act makes acting feel safer, which is why these tiny notifications nudge hesitant visitors along. They work hardest on stores and signup pages.

  • Most versions of this fake it; ours refuses. It only shows events you feed it from your real orders, signups, or reviews.
  • The little time labels (4 minutes ago) come from real timestamps; nothing is invented or randomized.
  • No events means no toasts, ever.
  • Each toast stays five seconds; the rotation pauses while your tab is hidden.
  • One tap on the X quiets the whole thing for the visit.

How it works

  1. 1Pick the corner they slide into, bottom left or bottom right, and the pace: calm is one toast about every 45 seconds, active about every 20.
  2. 2Copy the prompt into your AI; that pasted block is a complete recipe it can follow.
  3. 3Your AI builds the card, the slide-in animation, and the timing in your site's own look, with one clearly marked spot to plug in your data.
  4. 4Connect that spot to your real orders, signups, or reviews, so every name, action, and timestamp shown is a real one.
  5. 5Check your phone before shipping: the toasts should sit just above the bottom edge, shrink to fit, and never cover your buttons or menus.

What you can customize

  • Which corner: bottom left or bottom right. Pick the side where the toasts won't wrestle your chat bubble or cookie banner for space.
  • How often: calm waits 15 seconds, then shows one every 40 to 50 seconds; active starts after 8 seconds and shows one every 15 to 25.
  • Card style, icons, and wording all adapt to your site automatically, because your AI builds it right inside your own design.
