A hover card built with pure HTML and CSS that reveals additional content or details when hovered, providing contextual information without relying on JavaScript or external libraries.
Usage
This component is ideal for interfaces where progressive disclosure improves usability, such as tooltips, user previews, product details, quick info panels, or contextual UI elements.
Implementation
The hover interaction is implemented using CSS transitions, opacity, transforms, and positioning, allowing hidden content to appear smoothly while keeping the component lightweight and reusable.
