TheLab is the third version of Material Design, an Android application originally developed to show several use-cases of Google's Android Material Design components such as (CardView, RecyclerView, so on and so forth), it's implementing the new Jetpack Compose.

It turns out to a "Lab App", where multiples libraries and use-cases are developed and tested in this app (biometric section, speech-to-text, floating widgets, file downloading, notifications and more)
