Social Buttons with Hover Animation

Written by @kerixa 27 March 2021

The following code contains two sets of social networks buttons, each of which has a special animation on mpuse hover. In the first, the backgrounds of the icons are removed on hover mode and the social network icons are displayed colorful and larger. In the second series, when the buttons are hovered, in addition to a rotation of the background from square to a circle, its icon changes.
