Ridiculously Responsive Social Sharing Buttons

Love them or hate them, social sharing buttons appear to be with us for a while. It seemed like we were constantly making custom buttons for every single project, so we decided to create a super flexible system that would work in any container.

RRSSB is built with SASS, so you can easily customize it by tweaking a few variables. SVGs allow for tiny file size and retina support. Add or remove icons as you see fit — the rest will fill in automagically in the container.

Usage

Link to the css file in header:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/rrssb.css" />

<!-- Buttons start here. Copy this ul to your document. -->
<ul class="rrssb-buttons clearfix">

<!-- Buttons end here -->

Only copy the lis of the buttons you want (index.html has examples of all available types).
Adding a class of popup to the anchor tag for each share button will make the share dialog open in a popup, rather than a new window. (Good for Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, etc.)
Buttons will automatically flow to the size of the ul rrssb-buttons. If specifically sized buttons are needed, nest rrssb-buttons in a fixed-width container.
Each sharing URL requires various parameters that allow you to pass through messaging in the sharing dialog. A useful tool for URI escaping any messaging that needs to pass through the share URL can be found here.
