# Embeddable Hacker News vote / counter button
Async, embeddable submit + vote counter button for Hacker News.
- If the story has not been posted to HN, "Submit" button is shown, otherwise latest point count is displayed.
- Auto-detects Google Analytics and registers clicks events (see reports under `Traffic Sources > Social > Social Plugins`).
### Embedding the button
**Step 1**, place the HN link where you want the button appear on the page:
```html
Vote on HN
```
**Step 2**, include the (async) javascript file:
```html
```
_Note: you can safely embed multiple buttons on the same page._
### Misc
* Kudos to @sbashyal and @stbullard for the button styling (hnlike.com)
* Kudos to Algolia for an [awesome HN API](http://hn.algolia.com/)
