Cross app links solves problems caused by working with many projects at the same time. It can be splitted for two parts. The administration system and the web component.
Administration system is used to create and manage links by providing their names, addresses and icons. There is also possibility to see registered users, action log, statistics of existed data and much more. It is mainly to watch what is happening in our environment. It's written in Flask(Python) as a backend and Angular.js as front-end.
Web component is written in Polymer 2.0. It presents our links outside the administration part. It can be included at any webiste. There is also possibility to generate token which allows the user to manage the view of the links(pinning, ordering)
If you can't see the component probably you have to tell your browser to trust unsecured / untrusted content. It's beacuse we don't provide https...

Create *.env file to provide some global variables:
DATABASE_URL = "dialect+driver://username:password@host:port/database"
FLASK_APP = "run.py"
FLASK_DEBUG = "true"
Create an e-mail account (wherever):
MAIL_PASSWORD = "yoursecretpassword"
MAIL_PORT = "465"
MAIL_SERVER = "[email protected]"
