 There are several implementations provided by VICE that cover common use cases.
 
+### StateSource
+
+`StateSource` simply makes `ViceSource` implement Compose's `State` type, and by default provides [currentState]
+with its value.
+
+`StateSource` can be used instead of the other `State` based sources if the stricter rules of an `abstract class` aren't needed.
+
+```kotlin
+internal sealed interface MyFeatureDialogState {
+  data object None : MyFeatureDialogState
+  data class Error(val message: String) : MyFeatureDialogState
+}
+
+internal class MyFeatureDialogSource : StateSource<MyFeatureDialogState> {
+  override var value: MyFeatureDialogState by mutableStateOf(MyFeatureDialogState.None)
+    private set
+
+  fun clearError() {
+    value = MyFeatureDialogState.None
+  }
+
+  fun showError(message: String) {
+    value = MyFeatureDialogState.Error(message)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`StateSource` can also be used to define a custom interface, and abstract 
+implementors of it (e.g. `MutableStateSource`, etc...) can be used to provide the implementation.
+
+```kotlin
+internal sealed interface MyFeatureDialogState {
+  data object None : MyFeatureDialogState
+  data class Error(val message: String) : MyFeatureDialogState
+}
+
+internal interface MyFeatureDialogSource : StateSource<MyFeatureDialogState>
+
+internal class RealMyFeatureDialogSource : MyFeatureDialogSource, MutableStateSource<MyFeatureDialogState>() {
+  override val initial = MyFeatureDialogState.None
+
+  fun clearError() {
+    update(MyFeatureDialogState.None)
+  }
+
+  fun showError(message: String) {
+    update(
+      MyFeatureDialogState.Error(message)
+    )
+  }
+}
+```
+
 ### MutableStateSource
 
 `MutableStateSource` wraps a `MutableState`, and provides an `update` function for implementations to
 mutate it. Useful for encapsulating behavior around the `MutableState` instead of managing it in the `ViceCompositor`.
