This looks like simple onHover CSS or JavaScript… nothing to do with Jekyll…

Looks like they’re using Twitter’s Tweet Web Intent API. There’s little magic to it, basically it’s just a standard link with some parameters for prefilling out tweet text, hashtags, @usernames, etc.

Then you dress it up with some CSS to add a Twitter icon. If you really wanted to get fancy you could create a Jekyll tag plugin that would do the heavy lifting for you.

@yashumittal, do you have a link to the page where it can be found? I can try to reverse-engineer that for you (just for fun).

Sorry, I don’t remember the link from where I took the screenshot.

I think it’s from Invision App’s blog. They’re just dressing up text links to pull off this technique.
