+# Idea: Context Variables
+
+In designing how Dolla's version of 'context' works, I've been going through a few different ideas. The simplest seems to be the ability to store _context variables_ that, once set, are accessible on the same context or any child context.
+
+```js
+function SomeView(props, ctx) {
+  ctx.set("key", 5);
+
+  // ... and in a child view do
+  ctx.get("key");
+  // which returns null if the value isn't present.
+  // It's like localStorage for the view tree.
+}
+```
+
+They can be typed, but always with a possibility to return null.
+
+```js
+const value = ctx.get<number>("key");
+// value is number | null to force the programmer to check it.
+```

+# README
+
+> This note will eventually become the new README. Here I'm laying out my ideal framework API.
+
+A basic component.
+
+```jsx
+import Dolla, { createState, derive } from "@manyducks.co/dolla";
+
+function ExampleView(props, ctx) {
+  const [$count, setCount] = createState(5);
+  const $doubled = derive([$count], (n) => n * 2);
+
+  ctx.watch([$count], (count) => {
+    ctx.log("value of count is now %n", count);
+  });
+
+  return <p>{$count}</p>;
+}
+
+Dolla.mount(document.body, ExampleView);
+```
+
+<details open>
+<summary>
+  <h2>Signals API</h2>
+</summary>
+
+The signals API. Dolla's signals use explicit tracking, meaning any function where signal values are tracked take an array of the signals you want to track. This way you know exactly what depends on what at a glance without any kind of hidden tracking logic behind the scenes. You are free to `.get()` the value of a signal without worrying about untracking it first.
+
+```jsx
+import { createState } from "@manyducks.co/dolla";
+
+const [$count, setCount] = createState(256);
+
+$count.get(); // 256; returns the current value
+
+const stop = $count.watch((value) => {
+  // Runs once immediately, then again whenever the value changes.
+});
+
+setCount(512); // Update the value of $count. The new value is set and all watchers run synchronously.
+
+stop(); // Stop watching for changes.
+```
+
+That is the basic signal API. Signals are all about composability. Here are some more advanced ways of working with them:
+
+```jsx
+import { createState, toState, valueOf, derive } from "@manyducks.co/dolla";
+
+const [$count, setCount] = createState(72);
+
+// Returns the value of the signal passed in. If the value is not a signal it is returned as is.
+const count = valueOf($count);
+const bool = valueOf(true);
+
+// Creates a signal containing the value passed in. If the value is already a signal it is returned as is.
+const $bool = toState(true);
+const $anotherCount = toState($count);
+
+// Derive a new signal from the value of another. Whenever $count changes, $doubled will follow.
+const $doubled = derive([$count], (count) => count * 2);
+
+// Derive a new signal from the values of several others. When any value in the list changes, $sum will be recomputed.
+const $sum = derive([$count, $doubled], (count, doubled) => count + doubled);
+```
+
+The API if we call it State instead of Signal to distance from the Signal object in standardization process.
+
+```jsx
+import { createState, toState, valueOf, derive } from "@manyducks.co/dolla";
+
+const [$count, setCount] = createState(72);
+
+// Returns the value of the signal passed in. If the value is not a signal it is returned as is.
+const count = valueOf($count);
+const bool = valueOf(true);
+
+// Creates a signal containing the value passed in. If the value is already a signal it is returned as is.
+const $bool = toState(true);
+const $anotherCount = toState($count);
+
+// Derive a new signal from the value of another. Whenever $count changes, $doubled will follow.
+const $doubled = derive([$count], (count) => count * 2);
+
+// Derive a new signal from the values of several others. When any value in the list changes, $sum will be recomputed.
+const $sum = derive([$count, $doubled], (count, doubled) => count + doubled);
+```
+
+States also come in a settable variety, with the setter included on the same object. Sometimes you want to pass around a two-way binding and this is what SettableState is for.
+
+```jsx
+import { createSettableState, fromSettable, toSettable } from "@manyducks.co/dolla";
+
+// Settable states have their setter included.
+const $$value = createSettableState("Test");
+$$value.set("New Value");
+
+// They can also be split into a State and Setter
+const [$value, setValue] = fromSettableState($$value);
+
+// And a State and Setter can be combined into a SettableState.
+const $$otherValue = toSettableState($value, setValue);
+
+// Or discard the setter and make it read-only using the good old toState function:
+const $value = toState($$value);
+```
+
+Alternative API
+
+```jsx
+import { State } from "@manyducks.co/dolla";
+
+const [$count, setCount] = State(72);
+
+const count = State.unwrap($count);
+const bool = State.unwrap(true);
+
+const $bool = State.wrap(true);
+const $sameCount = State.wrap($count);
+
+const $doubled = State.from([$count], (count) => count * 2);
+
+const $sum = State.from([$count, $doubled], (count, doubled) => count + doubled);
+```
+
+Yet another
+
+```jsx
+import Dolla from "@manyducks.co/dolla";
+
+const [$count, setCount] = Dolla.state(72);
+
+const count = Dolla.get($count);
+const bool = Dolla.get(true);
+
+const $bool = Dolla.toState(true);
+const $sameCount = Dolla.toState($count);
+
+const $doubled = Dolla.computed([$count], (count) => count * 2);
+const $sum = Dolla.computed([$count, $doubled], (count, doubled) => count + doubled);
+
+// or
+
+import { state, computed, get, toState } from "@manyducks.co/dolla";
+
+const [$count, setCount] = state(72);
+
+const count = get($count);
+const bool = get(true);
+
+const $bool = toState(true);
+const $sameCount = toState($count);
+
+const $doubled = computed([$count], (count) => count * 2);
+const $sum = computed([$count, $doubled], (count, doubled) => count + doubled);
+```
+
+Settable signals:
+
+```jsx
+import { createSettableState, createSetter, toSettableSignal, fromSettableSignal } from "@manyducks.co/dolla";
+
+// Create a SettableSignal, which is basically a signal and its setter combined into a single object.
+const $$settable = createSettableState("Example");
+
+// The basic API is identical...
+$$settable.get();
+const stop = $$settable.watch((value) => {
+  // ...
+});
+stop();
+
+// ... except for the addition of a setter.
+$$settable.set("Set me directly");
+
+// When you already have a signal and a setter, they can be combined into one.
+const $$count = toSettableSignal($count, setCount);
+
+// This updates the original $signal value.
+$$count.set(386);
+
+// TODO: You can also split a SettableSignal into a signal and its setter.
+const [$readable, setReadable] = fromSettableSignal($$settable);
+
+// Create a custom setter. Calling this will cap the value to 100.
+const setCountBounded = createSetter($count, (next, current) => {
+  return Math.min(100, next);
+});
+
+setCountBounded((current) => {
+  return current + 1;
+});
+
+// Or make a proxy $$doubled -- but would you actually want to proxy things like this?
+const [$count, setCount] = createState(5);
+const $doubled = derive([$count], (count) => count * 2);
+const $$doubled = toSettableSignal(
+  $doubled,
+  createSetter($doubled, (next, current) => {
+    setCount(next * 2);
+  }),
+);
+```
+
+I'm not really sure we need all of this. On the chopping block:
+
+- The entire concept of settable signals
+  - `createSettableState`
+  - `toSettableSignal`
+  - `fromSettableSignal`
+  - `createSetter`
+
+This makes the entire API just four functions:
+
+- `createState`
+- `derive`
+- `toState`
+- `valueOf`

 What if Dolla was just a global object that you don't instantiate. I have never personally run into a use case for having more than one app on a page at once. In all my projects, the page and the app are synonymous.
 
 Doing this would make it possible to access things inside the Dolla app from _outside_ code such as Quill blots. Effectively all code that has access to your Dolla import is _inside_ the app.
