Share Counts

I have always struggled with getting all the various share buttons from Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, etc to align correctly and to not look like a tacky explosion of buttons. Seeing a number of sites rolling their own share buttons with counts, for example The Next Web I decided to look into the various APIs on how to simply return the share count.

If you want to roll up all of these into a single jQuery plugin check out Sharrre

Many of these API calls and methods are undocumented, so anticipate that they will change in the future. Also, if you are planning on rolling these out across a site I would recommend creating a simple endpoint that periodically caches results from all of the APIs so that you are not overloading the services will requests.

Shapefile source: http://www.istat.it/it/archivio/24613

Convert shapefile to geojson, s_srs defines the input projection, t_srs defines the output projection to the EPSG code 4326 (http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/4326/) see also http://www.gdal.org/ogr2ogr.html

ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON -s_srs prov2011_g.prj -t_srs EPSG:4326 sub.json prov2011_g.shp

The introduction to Reactive Programming you've been missing

This tutorial as a series of videos

If you prefer to watch video tutorials with live-coding, then check out this series I recorded with the same contents as in this article: Egghead.io - Introduction to Reactive Programming.

This is an auth example (WIP)

react + redux + RR

It uses https://gist.github.com/iNikNik/3c1b870f63dc0de67c38 for stores and actions.

1) create redux

const redux = createRedux(state);

2) get requireAccess func => bindCheckAuth to redux
