I have been using CSS triangles a lot lately in drawings. While they are genius and I love them, they can also be annoying and inflexible. I figured out how to make them slightly less annoying and thought I should shout it from the rooftops.

For the most part, social media buttons and color change on hover go hand in hand. This gets the job done, but the possibilities with these things are literally endless. For this demo we will get pretty scandalous and push CSS beyond a basic color change for a Twitter button. Let’s take a look at the animation involved with a hinged button effect.

Sometimes CSS makes me so happy. Sometimes it makes me cry, but then I find a solution and am even happier than when things just work.
