Why create Tailtip?
It shouldn't require a large library to create tooltips.
By combining Floating UI and Tailwind CSS, Tailtip allows you to create tooltips with a small bundle size and without the need for additional CSS.
Why not just use CSS?
CSS tooltips are not interactive and have many limitations.
Tailtip uses Floating UI under the hood for positioning and middleware which allows for interactive tooltips that can be triggered on click, hover, focus, etc. It also handles edge cases such as flipping the tooltip when it goes out of the viewport.
Why not use a slider library?
There are many tooltip libraries out there but none of them are built with Tailwind CSS in mind. They include their own way of animating tooltips which adds bloat that Tailwind can handle with its utility classes.
Tailtip allows you to add animations such as opacity with Tailwind CSS utility classes.
Roadmap
- Middleware offset + padding options
- init attr on script tag
