Simple Sharing Buttons

Create light-weight, mobile-friendly sharing buttons for Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites.

Speed up your website or web app, avoid downloading unnecessary JavaScript files and keep your user's activity private. Choose from several styles, including Font Awesome -- completely free.

Notes

• This is an old project I started in early 2014 and there's quite a few things I wanted to clean up before open-sourcing it. Not having enough time to do that, I decided to put the source code on GitHub as it is.
• The generator doesn't aim to support every possible network, as many icon sets are missing certain icons. Check out my blog to see how to implement buttons for some of the networks that are not included.
• Also note that Facebook no longer accepts custom parameters, you need to use Open Graph instead.
