Floating Panel

Component

About

A draggable, resizable floating panel/sheet with a header handle, minimize/maximize/close controls, and eight resize edges — useful for notes widgets, inspectors, or any detachable window that floats above the page.

Built with React and Tailwind. Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor or Lovable: your agent adds Floating Panel to your project and fits it to your theme.

Code

How Floating Panel is used: the demo's code. The component's own source comes with a free account.

Usage.tsx
