At least for CSS Anchor Positioning a number of browsers will need a while before they can ship the API anyways, so swapping in "the polyfill" (I mean #floatingUI) for all browsers isn't so horrible... it's just disappointing.

Headless, boneless, skinless & lifeless UI

‱ đŸ§© Four key #UI abstraction patterns revolutionizing #frontend development:
‱ đŸ’» #headless UI: Components with functionality + minimal styling (e.g., #HeadlessUI, #ArkUI)
‱ 🎹 #boneless UI: Style systems without markup (e.g., #Tailwind, #Bulma)
‱ 🩮 #skinless UI: Functioning components without styles (e.g., #ReactAria)
‱ 🔄 #lifeless UI: Typesafe hooks without rendering (e.g., #TanStack, #FloatingUI)

Each approach offers unique benefits for building custom design systems and application logic.

Covers popular tools like #HeadlessUI, #Tailwind, #ReactAria, and #TanStack.

Popovers are in the top layer, how can we position them relative to invokers that are not?
