## What it is
A React component library providing social media share buttons and share counts for many networks like X, Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and Reddit. It renders native button elements with no external SDK dependencies and supports tree shaking and custom icons.

## Use cases
- add social share buttons to a react app
- share a page to whatsapp and telegram from react
- show share counts for facebook and linkedin
- custom styled share buttons with my own icons
- accessible social sharing buttons with aria labels
- share blog posts to x and reddit
- replace social media sdk scripts with lightweight react components

## When to choose
- you need share buttons for many social networks in a React app
- you want to avoid loading third-party SDK scripts
- you need tree-shakeable, accessible button components with bundled icons

## When to avoid
- your app is not built with React
- you need native mobile share sheets rather than popup windows
- you rely on share counts, which are deprecated

- function: ui-components, web-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend, social-media
