it wasn't clear if this API is hook-based like react. There is function called useTransition but it's not indicated as a hook, and then in the playground you just call createSignal in a render function and it magically has it own instance? Does that mean you can't call createSignal outside of a component either?

You can put createSignal anywhere. It isn't hooks based. It's reactive like MobX or Vue. Some of the primitives don't have much meaning outside of a render setting. What sets Solid apart is the rendering is just that. It's just `createEffect`s. We just compile JSX to it. See my React Finland talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iK9zzhSKo4
