hi, i have an ionic 6 / angular 14 webapp. The tooltip package out there which is available for ionic4 simply does not install using npm, as the dependencies are too old and you get conflicts while installing it. Are there any alternatives? The ion-popover is not really suitable.

Why is the popover not suitable for you? 🤔

the popover seems to have a bug in my case : when i use it, i have to click repeatedly for it to appear and disappear. and also, it seems like a very heavyweight solution. i now found a solution with pure css, works fine.

you can create your own tool tip directive, there are examples of this online.
