Here’s the tool to generate them:

Note: definitely a draft, may be buggy. Send a test email before you commit.

You may need a small amount of added styles for your site to make them look right on web, which is going to depend on your theme. For the site I was working on earlier today (and for whom the tool was actually built), we needed:

<style>
  .newsletter-share-button-expanded {display: flex!important; flex-direction: row;}
</style>

Looks nice! Congratulations!

A simple web-component that takes those information automatically could make everything easier. If you allow, I can share a web component version of this :blush:

EDIT: Sorry, I missed the main point, this is for emails. :man_facepalming:

Thank you for this tool! It is working great. One question - is there a way to add a share for twitter/X?

Yep. The client who funded the work didn’t want x, so I didn’t bother but yeah, I can add it at some point when I have free time.

Thank you so much! I so appreciate that your tools pay attention to both the newsletter email and the posts. It is really helpful.
