Quickly looked over this and the thing that caught my eye is that it says you can set up distributed systems that are available offline through device to device communication. At least, I think that is what it does. I could not quickly find more information on that. A diagram or something would be helpful to visualize this, with an explanation of the protocols that are used. Maybe I missed the examples or case study section.

After 10 minutes, here's what I found out:

- The authors are either Google and/or heavily affiliated with Google

- On their website, the two highlighted projects/products are Syncbase and Vanadium Core.

- Syncbase is a distributed, works-offline datastore, with well-defined ways of doing reconciliation. Think, git merges, or collaborative docs, or y'know anything with vector clocks but approached from the side of the UX they want to target.

- Vanadium Core is "the discovery, RPC, and security layer underlying Syncbase", including its custom binary data serialization format 'VOM' and its IDL called 'VDL'.

How did you find the association with Google?

But you are probably right: page is in material design, the repos are mostly Dart or Go.
