Tooltip design patterns

A collection of reusable tooltip patterns — from simple hover hints to rich interactive popovers — built with pure Tailwind and zero JavaScript.

Pattern 1 — Basic hover tooltip

Hover me

Pattern 2 — Rich content popover

License details

Pattern 3 — Arrow tooltip

Info

All patterns use group-hover and pointer-events-none to avoid layout shifts. For interactive tooltips that accept clicks, remove pointer-events-none and add a small delay with a sibling peer-checkbox hack.
