Measured entry

neobrutalism-hover-card

tooltipbrutalism

A client-side React hover card shipped as a shadcn registry source file, not a packaged black box. It wraps Radix Hover Card primitives and styles the content with Tailwind utilities, project theme tokens, animation utilities, and a local cn helper imported through the usual alias.

Verdict

A sound fit for neobrutalist React interfaces already following shadcn conventions. It builds, mounts, stays contained across the tested layouts, and reports no automated accessibility findings, but the bare failure shows it needs a shadcn-style setup rather than a direct copy into an unprepared app.

Use it if

  • You need a compact preview panel that appears from a hoverable profile, link, or reference trigger.
  • Your app already uses Radix primitives and a shadcn-style Tailwind theme with matching token names.
  • You want source-owned markup and styling that can be adjusted directly in the project.

Skip it if

  • The content must be reliably available on touch-only interfaces, where hover is not a dependable interaction.
  • You only need a short text hint and a simpler tooltip would carry less interaction and dependency weight.
  • Your project cannot support Tailwind theme tokens, animation utilities, or the local cn helper expected by this source.

Providerno provider required in the harness

In a non-shadcn project, add the Radix Hover Card dependency, provide the cn class-merging helper and its import alias, configure Tailwind, define the referenced theme tokens, and include utilities for the state and directional animations. Keep the file in a client-rendered React boundary.
