Example App: Grid6
Grid6 is a tiny example app that lets you make 6x6 pixel art to share with your friends. It shows the potential of all-platform http-to-app linking, and demonstrates how to AppURL-enable your app.
Grid6 has lots of editions in the form of platform-specific native apps.

Grid6's Website
Grid6 has a website at grid6.us.
The home page is just a blank grid. You can't draw your own art on the Grid6 website, but you can open links to view other people's art.
Grid6 is hosting an appurl.json file at the root of its website's subdomain: grid6.us/appurl.json.
Linking to Grid6
If you click the "Copy URL" button in any of the Grid6 native apps, you'll get a URL like this:
This is Grid6's way of linking to grid6.us/wusjeswq through our appurl.org/go service. Chances are that your default HTTP client isn't an AppURL client; that's why we need the appurl.org/go part.
Grid6's links launch any Grid6 app you have installed on your device, no matter what your platform is. If you don't have any of the Grid6 apps installed on your device, then Grid6's links will open in your web browser.
You can do anything with a Grid6 link - bookmark it, email it, text it, share it on Facebook, post it on your blog, submit it to Reddit, etc. Anything you can do it with links on the web, you can do with links to AppURL-enabled apps like Grid6.
