State sharing between Islands
I have a client that I'm leading a site rebuild for, and we're potentially thinking of switching to Solid
They run on a very particular old enterprisey tech stack which means that while the app is fully client side rendered, it gets rendered into multiple roots instead of there being a single component tree.
What is the best approach to sharing state between these islands? Can Solid signals be used outside of a Solid tree for this? Should I use a separate solution for it, I saw Astro recommends nanostores
Thanks in advance

My understanding is it should work fine as the roots handle disposal. If you create the signal statically, there shouldn't be a problem, you can have memory leaks if you create them dynamically though without wrapping them in a
createRoot. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong though!Thanks for the reply, so it should be fine to use signals outside the solid component tree, I’ll give that a go to put together a poc
