Pol

Pol (Farsi: پل, "Bridge") is a new way for your audience to share contents of your site. You - as a Content Manager (CM) - point out to the most important part of your content, then Pol will transform it to a shareable link using javaScript and CSS so anyone could share it on your targeted social network.

Pol is created by Javid Izadfar and Setareh Karimi at IKA Computing Club as a free and open-source tool; so feel free to use and modify it as you need.

Pol will look great, using Gorbeh for media icons and RangeBrand for official media colors.
