People often want to know when the fist sync round trip has happened. One common reason for this is to initialize state with some default data. Waiting for onSync(true) sort of works except:
if the client already has local state, this is needlessly slow
it doesn't work at all in the offline case - onSync(true) will fire even if the first sync was unsuccesful, leading the app to incorrectly add the default data
The simplest way I can think of to accomplish this is to add a promise like firstServerResponse: Promise<void>. If the client knows it has already had one server response, it can resolve this immediately, otherwise it can wait.
