likebutton.mrks.se

2026-04-22

I just built this little website that allows anyone to add a like button to any static website! It’s online at likebutton.mrks.se and took me about half an afternoon to build. It doesn’t require signing in or cookies, so the users can like as many times as they would like - but I don’t really care. I just wanted something quick and dirty to add some interactivity (and learn about deploying flask applications in production!).

You can even embed it yourself:

<!-- Don't forget to url-encode the origin and id! -->
<iframe
    src="https://likebutton.mrks.se/button/<your website origin>/<like counter id>"
    referrerpolicy="no-referrer"
    style="border: none; width: 70px; height: 1.3rem"
></iframe>

Or, if you for some reason would like to self-host it, I have published the source code here: ~maekoos/likebutton
