I posted this article I wrote a while ago on another HN posting: https://www.stavros.io/posts/scourge-web-analytics/ https://www.stavros.io/posts/scourge-web-analytics/ It uses plain links (no JS) for the social buttons, and writing that article was actually what urged me to remove social buttons from my site. Shariff is cool, but there's really no reason to use JS just for some social buttons, so what I ended up doing was just using its CSS and visuals and nothing else. This has been working very well, the buttons are fully functional (even with JS off!) and quick to load. I wish Shariff had a no-JS mode.
