This one was tricky, but I was able to get a working file system backed by a SQLite database!

Even supports symlinks and any type of blob data with file watchers 🎉

Not everyone likes hooks in Flutter, but if you do love them, this will make working with signals a lot better! 💙

It will auto rebuild on value changes and makes it easy to connect to signals defined in other places too.

All the resources get cleaned up when the widget unmounts.

One of my favorite things about Signals in @flutter.dev is you can build however you want.

Here is an example of using just signal primitives to render everything starting at runApp.
