Measured entry

neobrutalism-ntooltip

tooltipbrutalism

A client-side React tooltip wrapper shipped as a shadcn registry component. It builds on Radix Tooltip for behavior and accessibility, then adds neobrutalist Tailwind classes. It also expects the shadcn cn helper, the @ path alias, theme tokens, and animation utilities.

Verdict

A sound choice for an existing neobrutalist shadcn codebase: it builds, mounts, stays within the tested viewports, and exposes Radix primitives cleanly. It is not standalone and needs a shadcn-style setup before it will build or mount.

Use it if

  • You already use shadcn conventions and want a tooltip that matches a neobrutalist theme.
  • You want Radix-managed trigger, positioning, delay, and accessible tooltip behavior behind a small local wrapper.
  • You prefer owning the component source so its theme classes and defaults can be edited in place.

Skip it if

  • Your project does not use Tailwind or cannot provide the component's custom theme tokens and animation utilities.
  • You want a dependency-free tooltip rather than adding Radix Tooltip and project-specific utility wiring.
  • You need rich interactive content, since tooltips are a poor fit for controls or essential information.
  • You need a drop-in package that works without shadcn aliases and helper conventions.

In a non-shadcn project, install Radix Tooltip, provide a cn class-merging helper, replace or configure the @ alias, and add the referenced Tailwind theme tokens and animation utilities. Mark the file as client-side where the framework requires it.
