Popover — how it compares

@rozie-ui/popover wraps @floating-ui/dom — the same vanilla-JS positioning engine that powers most of the libraries below. The difference is one source, six idiomatic packages: instead of maintaining a separate React hook library, a Vue plugin, and hand-rolled Svelte/Solid/Lit ports, you ship a single Popover.rozie and consumers install only their framework's leaf.

vs the Floating UI framework packages (@floating-ui/react, Floating Vue, etc.)

Floating UI ships first-class bindings for some frameworks and nothing for others:

	React	Vue	Svelte	Angular	Solid	Lit
Official / well-maintained binding	@floating-ui/react (full)	Floating Vue (community)	—	—	solid-floating-ui (thin)	—
@rozie-ui/popover	✅	✅	✅	✅	✅	✅

@floating-ui/react is excellent and far deeper than this primitive (focus management, interactions, the full hook toolkit). If you are React-only and need that depth, use it directly. @rozie-ui/popover instead gives the same engine, the same API, on every framework — the value is parity across a multi-framework design system, not out-depthing the React-specific package.

vs Radix Popover / Headless UI

Radix and Headless UI are React-first (Radix has a Vue port; Headless UI covers React + Vue). They bundle a rich accessibility + focus-trap layer that this primitive deliberately keeps minimal (it wires role/aria-expanded/aria-describedby + Escape/click-outside dismissal, and leaves focus-trapping to the consumer). Choose Radix/Headless UI for a batteries-included React/Vue popover; choose @rozie-ui/popover when you need the same headless positioning primitive across React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid, and Lit with a single API.

vs Tippy.js / Floating Vue (tooltips)

Tippy.js is a popular standalone tooltip library (itself built on Floating UI's predecessor Popper, and Floating UI in v6+). Floating Vue is the Vue-specific successor. Both are great for tooltips but are framework-coupled (Tippy ships per-framework wrappers; Floating Vue is Vue-only). @rozie-ui/popover serves both tooltip (trigger="hover"/"focus", role="tooltip") and popover (trigger="click", role="dialog") modes from one component, on all six frameworks.

When NOT to use it

• You need a full focus-trap + dismissable-layer stack on React only → @floating-ui/react or Radix.
• You need a modal dialog (not a positioned floating element) → use @rozie-ui/dialog.
• You want a select/combobox listbox → use @rozie-ui/listbox or @rozie-ui/combobox, which own their own keyboard/selection model.
