Create a repo that houses Wendy custom views for quickly adding sync UIs to apps. #25

One reason that Wendy was created was to give more transparency to the user of your mobile app about what is going on in the app. When the user performs an action, they should be notified when data is being saved, synced, updated, deleted, how old the data is, etc. Wendy allows you, the developer, to add this transparency into the UI quickly and easily.

To help you, the developer, even more with creating a transparent UI I thought about creating an open source collection of Android custom views that connect to Wendy. Rather then having to design and create your own custom views, you can use the open source collection to drop in UI widgets.

I believe this custom views collection should be it's own separate git repo. Making it an optional component that does not get in the way of the purpose of Wendy: managing the data.

Here is the repo I created

All discussions about this custom views collection should happen in the newly created repo. This issue exists to put it on the radar and discuss if (1) Wendy-Android needs this kind of project, (2) how it should become available if it is a need.
