We desperately need to get a better offline story. The counter proposal to this that I had is going to take a lot longer to hammer out and get to a state where we can ship. Or rather, it'll take longer to get to a point where we're confident it's not repeating a lot of the mistakes of appcache-v1.
So we should start with implementing NavController. I think the Apps team is interested in working on doing a library implementation of my proposal in parallel, but such a library will rely on having NavController available. That said, I suspect that the NavController API will need work. But the best way to figure out what works and what doesn't is to implement with that in mind. / Jonas On Mon, Jul 29, 2013 at 11:46 AM, Doug Turner <doug.tur...@gmail.com> wrote: > Intent to implement seems premature.
