README details

The README section "README details" states: 1. Anchor positioning : Anchor a floating element (such as a tooltip) to another element (such as a button) while simultaneously ensuring it stays in view as best as possible by avoiding collisions. This feature is available for all platforms. 2. User interactions for React : Hooks and components for composing interactions to create accessible floating UI components.
