 Dolla is a batteries-included JavaScript frontend framework covering the needs of moderate-to-complex single page apps:
 
-- Reactive DOM updates (Signals)
-- Reusable components (Views)
-- Routing
-- HTTP client
-- Localization (translations as JSON files and a `t` function to get strings)
+- ⚡ Reactive DOM updates with [State](). Inspired by Signals, but with more explicit tracking.
+- 📦 Reusable components with [Views](#section-views).
+- 🔀 Built in [routing]() with nested routes and middleware support (check login status, preload data, etc).
+- 🐕 Built in [HTTP]() client with middleware support (set auth headers, etc).
+- 📍 Built in [localization]() system (store translated strings in JSON files and call the `t` function to get them).
+- 🍳 Build system optional. Write views in JSX or use `html` tagged template literals.
 
 Let's first get into some examples.
 
-## Signals
+## State
 
-### Signals API
+### Basic State API
 
 ```jsx
-import { createSignal, derive } from "@manyducks.co/dolla";
-
-// Create a readable state and setter.
-const [$count, setCount] = createSignal(0);
+import { createState, toState, valueOf, derive } from "@manyducks.co/dolla";
 
-// Derive a new state from one or more states.
-const $doubled = derive([$$count], (count) => count * 2);
-```
+const [$count, setCount] = createState(72);
 
-### Basic State
+// Get value
+$count.get(): // 72
 
-```jsx
-import { createSignal } from "@manyducks.co/dolla";
+// Replace the stored value with something else
+setCount(300);
+$count.get(); // 300
 
-const [$count, setCount] = createSignal(0);
+// You can also pass a function that takes the current value and returns a new one
+setCount((current) => current + 1);
+$count.get(); // 301
 
-// Set Style 1: Set value explicitly.
-setCount(1); // $count = 1
+// Watch for changes to the value
+const unwatch = $count.watch((value) => {
+  // This function is called immediately with the current value, then again each time the value changes.
+});
+unwatch(); // Stop watching for changes
 
-// Set Style 2: Set value based on the current value using a callback.
-const increment = () => setCount((current) => current + 1);
-const decrement = () => setCount((current) => current - 1);
+// Returns the value of a state. If the value is not a state it is returned as is.
+const count = valueOf($count);
+const bool = valueOf(true);
 
-increment(); // $count = 2
-increment(); // $count = 3
-decrement(); // $count = 2
+// Creates a state from a value. If the value is already a state it is returned as is.
+const $bool = toState(true);
+const $anotherCount = toState($count);
 
-console.log($count.get()); // 2
+// Derive a new state from one or more other states. Whenever $count changes, $doubled will follow.
+const $doubled = derive([$count], (count) => count * 2);
+const $sum = derive([$count, $doubled], (count, doubled) => count + doubled);
 ```
 
-### Derived State
+States also come in a settable variety that includes the setter on the same object. Sometimes you want to pass around a two-way binding and this is what SettableState is for.
 
 ```jsx
-import { createSignal, derive } from "@manyducks.co/dolla";
-
-const [$count, setCount] = createSignal(0);
-const $doubled = derive([$count], (count) => count * 2);
-
-setCount(1); // $count = 1, $doubled = 2
-setCount(256); // $count = 256, $doubled = 512
-setCount(-37); // $count = -37, $doubled = -74
-```

-## A Basic View
+// Settable states have their setter included.
+const $$value = createSettableState("Test");
+$$value.set("New Value");
 
-```js
-import Dolla, { html } from "@manyducks.co/dolla";
+// They can also be split into a State and Setter
+const [$value, setValue] = fromSettableState($$value);

-  const [$count, setCount] = Dolla.createSignal(0);
+// And a State and Setter can be combined into a SettableState.
+const $$otherValue = toSettableState($value, setValue);
 
-  function increment() {
-    setCount((count) => count + 1);
-  }
-
-  return html`

-##
-
-States come in two varieties, each with a constructor function and a TypeScript type to match. These are:
-
-- `Readable<T>`, which has only a `.get()` method that returns the current value.
-- `Writable<T>`, which extends `Readable<T>` and adds a couple methods:
-  - `.set(value: T)` to replace the stored value.
-  - `.update(callback: (current: T) => T)` which takes a function that receives the current value and returns a new one.
-
-The constructor functions are `$` for `Readable` and `$$` for `Writable`. By convention, the names of each are prefixed with `$` or `$$` to indicate its type, making the data flow a lot easier to understand at a glance.
-
-```js
-import { signal } from "@manyducks.co/dolla";
-
-// By convention, Writable names are prefixed with two dollar signs and Readable with one.
-const [$number, setNumber] = signal(5);
-
-// Returns the current value held by the Writable.
-$number.get();
-// Stores a new value to the Writable.
-setNumber(12);
-// Uses a callback to update the value. Takes the current value and returns the next.
-setNumber((current) => current + 1);
-
-// Derive a new state from an existing one.
-const $doubled = derive([$number], (value) => value * 2);
-$doubled.get(); // 26 ($number is 13)
-
-// Derive one new state from the latest values of many other states.
-const $many = derive([$number, $doubled], (num, doubled) => num + doubled);
-```
-
-Now how do we use it? For a real example, a simple greeter app. The user types their name into a text input and that value is reflected in a heading above the input. For this we will use the `writable` function to create a state container. That container can be slotted into our JSX as a text node or DOM property. Any changes to the value will now be reflected in the DOM.
-
-```jsx
-import { signal } from "@manyducks.co/dolla";
-
-function Greeter() {
-  const [$name, setName] = signal("Valued Customer");
-
-  return (
-    <section>
-      <header>
-        <h1>Hello, {$name}!</h1>
-      </header>
-
-      <input
-        value={$name}
-        onChange={(e) => {
-          setName(e.target.value);
-        }}
-      />
-    </section>
-  );
-}
-```
-
-### Computed
-
-Computed states take one or more Readables or Writables and produce a new value _computed_ from those.
-
-```js
-import { $, $$ } from "@manyducks.co/dolla";
-
-const $$count = $$(100);
-
-const $double = $($$count, (value) => value * 2);
-```
-
-In that example, `$$double` will always have a value derived from that of `$$count`.
-
-Let's look at a more typical example where we're basically joining two pieces of data; a list of users and the ID of the selected user.
-
-```js
-import { $, $$ } from "@manyducks.co/dolla";
-
-// Let's assume this list of users was fetched from an API somewhere.
-const $$people = $$([
-  {
-    id: 1,
-    name: "Borb",
-  },
-  {
-    id: 2,
-    name: "Bex",
-  },
-  {
-    id: 3,
-    name: "Bleeblop",
-  },
-]);
-
-// Let's assume this ID was chosen from an input where the above users were displayed.
-const $$selectedId = $$(2);
-
-// Now we get the object of the person who is selected.
-const $selectedPerson = $($$people, $$selectedId, (people, selectedId) => {
-  return people.find((person) => person.id === selectedId);
-});
-
-// Now we get a Readable of just that person's name. Say we're going to display it on the page somewhere.
-const $personName = $($selectedPerson, (person) => person.name);
-
-console.log($personName.get()); // "Bex"
-```
-
-Notice that the structure above composes a data pipeline; if any of the data changes, so do the computed values, but the relationship between the data remains the same. Now that we've defined these relationships, `$selectedPerson` is always the person pointed to by `$$selectedId`. `$personName` is always the name of `$selectedPerson`, etc.
-
-### Unwrap
-
-The `unwrap` function returns the current value of a Readable or Writable, or if passed a non-Readable value returns that exact value. This function is used to guarantee you have a plain value when you may be dealing with either a container or a plain value.
-
-```js
-import { $, $$, unwrap } from "@manyducks.co/dolla";
-
-const $$number = $$(5);
-
-unwrap($$number); // 5
-unwrap($(5)); // 5
-unwrap(5); // 5
-```

-
-## Stores
-
-A store is a function that returns a plain JavaScript object. If this store is registered on the app, a single instance of the store is shared across all views and stores in the app. If the store is registered using a `StoreScope`, a single instance of the store is shared amongst all child elements of that `StoreScope`.
-
-Stores are accessed with the `getStore` function available on the context object in views and other stores.
-
-Stores are helpful for managing persistent state that needs to be accessed in many places.
-
-```js
-import { App } from "@manyducks.co/dolla";
-
-const app = App({
-  view: LayoutView,
-  stores: [MessageStore],
-});
-
-// We define a store that just exports a message.
-function MessageStore() {
-  return {
-    message: "Hello from the message store!",
-  };
-}
-
-// All instances of MessageView will share just one instance of MessageStore.
-function MessageView(props, ctx) {
-  const store = ctx.getStore(MessageStore);
-
-  return <p>{store.message}</p>;
-}
-
-// And a layout view with five MessageViews inside.
-function LayoutView() {
-  return (
-    <div>
-      <h1>Title</h1>
-      <MessageView />
-      <MessageView />
-      <MessageView />
-      <MessageView />
-      <MessageView />
-    </div>
-  );
-}
-
-// Connect the app.
-app.connect("#app");
-```
-
-The output:
-
-```html
-<div id="app">
-  <div>
-    <h1>Title</h1>
-    <p>Hello from the message store!</p>
-    <p>Hello from the message store!</p>
-    <p>Hello from the message store!</p>
-    <p>Hello from the message store!</p>
-    <p>Hello from the message store!</p>
-  </div>
-</div>
-```
-
-### StoreScope
-
-Stores relevant to only a part of the view tree can be scoped using a `StoreScope`.
-
-```jsx
-function ExampleStore() {
-  return { value: 5 };
-}
-
-function ExampleView(props, ctx) {
-  const store = ctx.getStore(ExampleStore);
-
-  return <div>{store.value}</div>;

-#### Routes and Outlets
-
-The main view (defined with the app's `main` method) is the top-level view that will always be displayed while the app is connected.
-
-```jsx

-            <li>
-              <a href="/completed">Completed</a>
-            </li>
-          </ul>
-        </nav>
-        {/*

-
-  stores: [
-    {
-      store: RouterStore,
-      options: {
-        hash: true, // Use hash-based routing (default false)
-
-        // Here are a couple of routes to be rendered into our layout:
-        routes: [

-          { path: "/completed", view: CompletedView },
-        ],
-      },
-    },
-  ],
-});
-```
-
-Routes can also be nested. Just like the main view and its routes, subroutes will be displayed in the outlet of their parent view.
-
-```jsx
-const app = App({

-
-              // In routes, `{value}` is a dynamic value that matches anything,
