win_notifications

a hacky solution to send native windows notifications via the nvgt scripting language

Intruduction

A lightweight, fully portable Windows toast notification utility built with C# and .NET Framework.
This tool is designed to be called from other applications (like NVGT/BGT-based games or scripts) to display native Windows toast popups.

What It Does

win_notifications provides a command-line executable (notifier.exe) that displays native Windows 10/11 toast notifications.

Example usage: notifier.exe "Title" "This is a toast message"
