-//! Example: Calculator
-//! -------------------
+//! This example showcases a simple calculator using an approach to state management where the state is composed of only
+//! a single signal. Since Dioxus implements traditional React diffing, state can be consolidated into a typical Rust struct
+//! with methods that take `&mut self`. For many use cases, this is a simple way to manage complex state without wrapping
+//! everything in a signal.
 //!
-//! Some components benefit through the use of "Models". Models are a single block of encapsulated state that allow mutative
-//! methods to be performed on them. Dioxus exposes the ability to use the model pattern through the "use_model" hook.
-//!
-//! Models are commonly used in the "Model-View-Component" approach for building UI state.
-//!
-//! `use_model` is basically just a fancy wrapper around set_state, but saves a "working copy" of the new state behind a
-//! RefCell. To modify the working copy, you need to call "get_mut" which returns the RefMut. This makes it easy to write
-//! fully encapsulated apps that retain a certain feel of native Rusty-ness. A calculator app is a good example of when this
-//! is useful.
-//!
-//! Do note that "get_mut" returns a `RefMut` (a lock over a RefCell). If two `RefMut`s are held at the same time (ie in a loop)
-//! the RefCell will panic and crash. You can use `try_get_mut` or `.modify` to avoid this problem, or just not hold two
-//! RefMuts at the same time.
+//! Generally, you'll want to split your state into several signals if you have a large application, but for small
+//! applications, or focused components, this is a great way to manage state.

+//! The `Link` component integrates with the Router and is smart enough to detect if the link is internal or external.
