📍 Floating social share sidebar: A tidy little toolbar that sticks with your readers as they scroll.

📊 Show off your share counts: Social proof that shows visitors how many people love your content.

🖼️ Crisp social icons: Hubbub uses SVG icons so everything looks clean and sharp, on every screen, in every size.
