The Page Reacts widget displays a customizable set of reaction icons on the comment widget.

Users can click the images to react, and it remembers reactions they've selected per-page. If they are logged into fastcomments.com, this is tied to their account.

If you click Run on the example below you can see it in action.

For Page Reacts we have to decide on two things:

• What reaction images to use.
• A short id to name each reaction.

Optionally:

• You can also define optional separate images for selected/unselected reacts.
• You can decide if you want to show the list of users who reacted when moving a mouse over one of the reactions.

14 {id: 'rofl', src: 'https://docs.fastcomments.com/images/emojis/rofl.png' },

15 ]

16 }

17 });

18</script>

The configuration for the React, Angular, and so on frontend libraries is the same.

The floating likes widget displays a floating box in the bottom right hand of the screen with like and comment counts. You can see it in action on this page!

Users can click the heart to like the page, and it remembers pages they've liked. If they are logged into fastcomments.com, this is tied to their account to help prevent people from liking a page multiple times.

It also automatically detects the user's browser dark mode preferences and changes its skin to a dark version if desired.

Installation is simple:
