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:
