Create offline-first apps
summary
Offline-first apps store and serve from a local data source, sync with a network source, and resolve conflicts; the implementation uses Kotlin flows for observable reads, suspend functions for async writes, and a repository that maps SQL-backed entities to network models and to app models. Two sync strategies are compared: pull-on-navigation versus a push/replica baseline with server notifications. Conflict resolution defaults to last-write-wins and samples live in the Now In Android repo.
