Direct Share Buttons

Formerly known as Intent Social Icons

A pure HTML & CSS implementation on allowing your end users to interact with social networks from your site without any need of loading in heavy JavaScript-based widgets.

Installation

Dependencies

Via Bower

Simply run:

bower install direct-share-buttons

Via Manually

First download the direct-share-buttons.css in this repository and include it at the top of your page with the font awesome CDN link:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.3.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="direct-share-buttons.css">

(Or where you have saved the direct-share-buttons.css file...)

Next view the demo.html page to find suitable social share buttons and copy the code and you're done! :)
