Overview

SocialMediaBar is a sharing bar that allows you to add a sharing bar onto your website, that will not only pin itself into a specific place in your content but then also float to the side as the user scrolls. It uses the native sharing systems of the different social media networks to ensure proper sharing, and is extremely lightweight on the frontend of your site.

It is also extremely developer and version control friendly by keeping very few configuration options, so it is very easy to add to a site and get running as well as move between sites.
