Signals are a state management primitive that has been taking over the web in the last year. Multiple Javascript frameworks have authored their own signals implementation to manage fine-grained reactivity. One of the popular implementation came from the Preact team in the form of @preact/signals. This implementation was built with a focus on Preact, but also provides a React adapter that allows React application to use signals with the same api.
