The goal is basically to help you build offline-first apps. In the offline-first paradigm, app code works directly with a client-side embedded database, which automatically syncs with a backend database in the background. This is in contrast to cloud-first apps which primarily use a cloud datastore via APIs. Working with a local database (e.g. SQLite) means that apps feel instant to use because of low latency, and remain functional when the user’s network connection is unreliable or offline. Also, offline-first typically offers built-in real-time collaboration by automatically syncing data in the background. There's 1-minute demo video here of a Flutter "To-Do List" app showing some of these concepts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTx5ViRe3HY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTx5ViRe3HY (this demo uses a Supabase Postgres backend for simplicity)
