Looks great! I made edits, but github's PR editing is doing strange things with this notebook; maybe it's not cleared and it's hiding that fact in the PRs? Confusing, but hopefully it's clear what I'm suggesting.

In What can it do?, you might want to highlight that panel-material-ui can be used to replace templates.

It may just be me but I've been confused in general and specially in Panel with how to differentiate theme vs style vs design. It'd be nice to have some sort of introduction to these concepts for the beginner Panel user in the blog, showing how panel-material-ui helps to streamline all of this.

Thanks folks, I think I've addressed all the comments.

Just read through it @philippjfr . Looks great!

Suggestions:

— while staying fully compatible with your existing Panel code.

Will the be explained in more detail in this post or somewhere else?

Does compatible mean: a user can import both libraries, and mix and match existing and Material components in the same code?

Or what is meant by "compatible"? Especially existing Panel users might wonder what this means for their current code.

The What's next paragraph could maybe (additionally called migration / transition? Or a separate paragraph with this title?

Added a small section about compatibility.

Overall great post. The text to visual ratio is very high. I would include some more pictures, videos or .gifs to prove the main points:

• light/ dark theme client side
• Branding is possible
• You can create advanced, custom dashboard templates
• Custom material ui components
• New, exiting components
• Chat components are there

I would recommend reviewing the mobile experience too. The Page with sidebar example is hard to understand visually and some plots do not render on my iPhone.

I suspect the output just loaded too slowly when you reviewed it? Because most of those examples are there, branding, chat, and custom components and templates could also be mentioned though.
