I understand that it could potentially conflict with an official implementation, but I haven't decided what to do about it yet.\r\n\r\nI certainly don't intend for this project to be a placeholder, and would love to see it grow into something spectacular.  That being said, I'm only one person and have only so much free time outside of work to contribute. Google could probably pretty easily put a real team behind making what I've done irrelevant at any point.  I don't know what their plans are.\r\n\r\nI will continue to work on this project as long as there is a need for it. I would love to have more people (like @jaroslavrehorka) contribute components, examples, and tests as well. \r\n\r\nI'm really glad to hear that people are finding it useful. :+1: \r\n"}}
