While the project is labeled as not maintained, the potential for its use in your AngularJS projects cannot be overlooked, especially for those who need a reliable notification system integrated within their apps.

The component facilitates easy integration by allowing developers to include simple CSS and JavaScript files before declaring the notifications module as a dependency.
