Indicator Component

A flexible indicator component built with Tailwind CSS for overlaying badges, status dots, and notification counts on other elements. Supports all nine placement positions and multiple sizes. Perfect for notification badges on avatars, buttons, and cards in modern UIs.

Indicator components display status, badges, or notifications positioned on other elements.
