## What it is
A small web application that generates CSS code for tooltip arrows with configurable position, size, color, and border. It is available at cssarrowplease.com and can also be run locally as a Node app.

## Use cases
- generate css for a tooltip arrow
- create css arrow pointing out of a box
- style tooltip flyout with border and arrow
- get css code for speech bubble pointer
- configure arrow position top right bottom left

## When to choose
- you need ready-to-paste CSS for a tooltip or flyout arrow
- you want a quick visual configurator instead of hand-writing pseudo-element CSS

## When to avoid
- you need a full tooltip JavaScript library with positioning behavior
- you want a CSS framework or component library rather than a one-off snippet generator
