summary: >-
  The shared Material 3 Expressive design system and plumbing behind the Floret
  app family — so each app draws from one bloom instead of reinventing it.
tech:
  - Kotlin
  - Gradle composite build
features:
  - title: Built from source
    body: >-
      Embedded as a git submodule and wired in with a Gradle composite build —
      no published artifacts, which keeps every app reproducible for F-Droid.
  - title: core-time
    body: >-
      Pure-Kotlin date/time helpers: local-day windows for smart-list logic and
      locale/zone-aware display formatting. No Android, no dependencies.
  - title: Growing
    body: >-
      Identity/theme, components, screen recipes, and provider / prefs /
      reminders / crash plumbing land as they're extracted from the apps.

"Floret" is the family's design language: a Calendula flower head is a cluster
of many small *florets*, and each app is one of them. floret-kit is the bloom
they share — so a new app doesn't reinvent a settings screen, an edit form, or a
theme; it draws from here. Gradle's dependency substitution maps
`de.jeanlucmakiola.floret:<module>` to local source, so editing the kit updates
every app immediately.
