Sometimes less is actually more—compact popovers for brief hints. This React popover uses w-auto width with p-2 padding and text-xs content triggered by size sm button using shadcn/ui. Built with Radix UI primitives, minimal sizing keeps interface lightweight—perfect for quick tips, icon explanations, brief warnings, keyboard shortcuts, status indicators, or any scenario where ultra-brief text needs display without heavy popover chrome or wasted whitespace.
