Technical Details
The code uses Provider for state-management because it is widely known by Flutter community, doesn't bring any unnecessary complexity to the codebase & is scalable/stable enough.
Most ChangeNotifiers are available as singletons, though de-coupled from each other. This is important to handle things like loading app configuration before runApp, handling background notification button actions & few other asynchronous operations performed outside the widget tree. By having singletons, we are able to avoid a strict dependency on the BuildContext & do certain things in a more performant way.
