Display popularity of articles

[honzajavorek]

Maybe not worth doing, but it would be nice to see how the article is doing

• on Facebook
• on Twitter
• on Google Analytics

All these things have APIs and it should™ be fairly easy to get the relevant information and display it. Since I don't want any unnecessary embedded stuff on the page and I re-implemented the share buttons, this could help people know how popular the article already is.

Flaw: This is static site generator and the data won't live together with the article, so it's merely for backup / nostalgia / retrospective purposes rather than something that could actually drive the traction.
