Can I use these images?
Yes, you can hotlink the images from the SimpleShare CDN. They are vector (.SVG) images that look good at any size and resolution in both light and dark themes.
How can I tell when someone shares?
Nope. If you need to track, you can run your own copy and look at the server-side logs.
Aren't there a million sites that do exactly this?
Well, yes and no. When I went looking for them, I didn't find any that met my criteria for social links.
