Show HN: Share-this: Medium-like text sharing

Am I the only person absolutely hates this feature on websites? I highlight where I'm at on the page in the event I get pulled away for whatever reason so I know where I was at in the page. Any JS interaction there drives me insane and I wish no sites did this. If you're going to ask me to share the text, at least make that show up _outside_ the text I'm reading, please.

Please consider releasing this as a Cloudflare App [1], it would make it easy for non-technical people to use it, and it would be an awesome app.<p>1: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cloudflare.com&#x2F;apps&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cloudflare.com&#x2F;apps&#x2F;</a>

I actually used the sharing functionality provided by the library to post this link here.<p>Suggestions are well accepted.

It appears totally broken to me, it might be the adblocker though (I also block social media): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;bB017" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;bB017</a><p>The same thing on Medium appears perfect without any social media link.

You probably need a new name - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sharethis.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sharethis.com&#x2F;</a>

I really like the way Medium creates a &quot;screenshot&quot; when you share highlighted text to Twitter. I thought that&#x27;s what this was going to be - although this is pretty cool, and it looks like this library makes it really easy to extend and add something like that.

Looks interesting! Getting some odd skipping around testing on mobile (iOS &#x2F; Chrome), where holding on a word skips to the bottom of the page, to an unrelated selection.

I&#x27;m afraid you may be violating Medium&#x27;s copyright on their design, sir
