Novashare records share counts directly on each post using postmeta keys like novashare_facebook, novashare_pinterest, and novashare_total. The plugin renders the total inside the post editor and on the front-end button group, but it ships no editorial dashboard for ranking posts, comparing networks, or watching growth over time.

SleekView Charts treats Novashare's postmeta as the data source it already is. Point a SleekView source at wp_postmeta, filter by the novashare_ meta keys, and join to wp_posts by post_id to get titles and dates. From there a Number card sums total shares, a Donut splits them across networks, a Horizontal Bar ranks top posts, and an Area chart traces growth using post_date.

The recording stays untouched. Novashare keeps writing its meta keys exactly as it does today, and the buttons in your theme still render the same totals. The chart dashboard sits on top as a reading layer, so editors can answer which posts and which networks actually drive shares without opening every single post in the editor.

Novashare is a fast, lightweight social-share plugin, but the share counts it records on every post tend to sit in postmeta as numbers nobody reads. The settings screen lists totals per post in a long flat list, and the buttons in the theme show a single tally to visitors. Neither view answers the questions editors actually have: which posts drove the most shares this quarter, which network is over-indexed, and whether share volume is trending up or down with each new piece.

SleekView Charts treats the same novashare_ meta keys as the dataset they already are. A KPI for total shares, a donut for network mix, a ranked bar for top posts, and an area chart of growth over publish dates all sit on one saved dashboard. Novashare keeps writing the meta, the buttons keep rendering, and nothing about the recording side changes; what changes is that the data finally turns into editorial decisions.
