Not essential, but some more consistent line length in this document would be appreciated. Some lines wrap early, some go long; it's just a bit inconsistent when editing.

I feel like a lot of this content should be copy/pasted from the Signals guide page or intro blog. It looks like you wrote this entirely yourself, which is impressive, but the language and examples diverge quite a bit despite containing similar information.
Don't have time to review more right now, but I can take a look at this myself at some point.

Added a new tutorial to highlight Signals as a concept in and of itself, so everybody going through it will understand how they work and differ from hooks.
I have sprinkled a few hints about signals across a couple of pages (Essentials ⤵ Forms, Refs sections, etc.) in the guide as well, so users are reminded how something of the same effect as documented can be achieved via signals too, this swiftly follows "Signals" example tabs inserted right alongside Classes and Hooks.
