Pop-up flash message from the depths of background tasks

Every time you need to display a flash message, you encounter the same problems: it’s not clear where to display these messages, we will define a place on the page in advance on the page, which is pathetic, make a stretchable design that is not always convenient. And there can be a lot of these messages, and still everyone tries to keep them under his key (warning, notice ..). When it was necessary to send messages to the user from delayed_job, it became clear that you need to solve this problem once and for all.

gem gritter_notice - displays flash and conveniently processes pop-up messages stored in the database in 5 lines of code.
