Dynamic Expanding Social Media Buttons

Written by @kerixa 27 March 2021

To display sharing buttons for social networks, it is better to use animations to attract more attention. In the following code, a set of square buttons are placed on top of each other, each of which contains a symbol of a social network.When the central button is clicked, these squares rotate, expand and place next to each other in a regular manner.
