It's nice, but people love to see the number of current likes.<p>For one of my customers, I created a Facebook like area [0](visible on the bottom of the site) that shows the amount of likes. All required data is retrieved server-side and cached; to not expose end-users to Facebook tracking while still providing images and like count.<p>[0]: <a href="https://www.bakkerij-emmerix.be/be" rel="nofollow">https://www.bakkerij-emmerix.be/be</a><p>It uses the user-supplied images by facebook (square and banner) with the option to supply a larger-version than Facebook returns.<p>It's not rocket science, but it makes the site load a lot faster and does not expose the user to tracking.
Does anyone know if there's any data on how freauently people use sharing buttons? Do sharing buttons actually significantly increase sharing?<p>I don't remember ever clicking on a sharing button, except by accident, I always just copy paste the url, seems way more convenient.<p>Do you guys use them?<p>//In any case - awesome project!
This is fantastic, thanks for sharing it!<p>On another note, I'm a huge fan of small utilities like this. Sometimes cruising HN it's easy to get it in my head that a project isn't worth doing unless it's a scalable VC business ready to submit to YC, or a community-supported FOSS. It's nice to see a little web utility doing its thing online.
Nice work - I just put them onto ind.ie' list of Stopgaps - <a href="https://forum.ind.ie/t/a-nice-project-for-no-tracking-share-buttons-sharingbuttons-io/1286" rel="nofollow">https://forum.ind.ie/t/a-nice-project-for-no-tracking-share-...</a>.<p>A while ago I made a Share Buttons WP plugin with no tracking as well - can be found here <a href="https://github.com/privacore/sharebuttons-wp" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/privacore/sharebuttons-wp</a>
This is an amazing idea, and I will be implementing this today. Great job. I haven't seen any rendering problems across browsers either.<p>The only change I would make is to remove the "Share on Twitter" text that is included with each large button on the website example. It's pretty much implied for the end user once they see the colors of the buttons and the icons.<p>For example, I shortened "Share on Twitter" to just "Twitter".
This is perfect. I wish I had known about this last week. I was volunteering for an event that my work place sponsored -- It was a "girls who code" thing, and I was helping them with HTML and they wanted something like this. All the ones I found didn't work out of the box.
Acording to Gov.uk, which are actually quite good at it, these buttons don't really make sense:<p><a href="https://insidegovuk.blog.gov.uk/2014/02/20/gov-uk-social-sharing-buttons-the-first-10-weeks/" rel="nofollow">https://insidegovuk.blog.gov.uk/2014/02/20/gov-uk-social-sha...</a><p>Edit: the website is really awesome though, I love how it looks/work.
These are really nice. If anyone's using Ghost and wants to see them in the wild, take a look at something like <a href="https://wail.es/opendaws/" rel="nofollow">https://wail.es/opendaws/</a>
Nice work! Now if you can just convince the world to use it.<p>I forget what it was, but I had the same idea while reading something on HN about a month ago, however, since I don't have an account on any of those services, I didn't bother trying to implement it. I was also a little pessimistic that some services wouldn't even have simple links like that so they could protect their interest in tracking, but it looks like they all have something. The only downside I can think of is that the URLs might disappear and a site owner would need to update their site to get sharing working again (assuming a new link is available). But I can't imagine that happening too often and it's not like anyone ever died because share buttons didn't work for a minute.
