Why would anyone build with this?

REASON 1

Call Burnt.toast to show a quick 'Message sent!' confirmation without building custom UI.

REASON 2

Show an iOS-style alert popup for errors using Burnt's native alert method.

REASON 3

Display a toast notification on top of an open modal, which normally breaks in React Native.

REASON 4

Use native platform notification systems instead of a JavaScript-based UI layer to save battery.
