How does it stack up against MUI's Toolpad? (https://mui.com/toolpad/)

All things considered, they seem pretty similar - visual UI to generate React code that works alongside existing codebase, open-source & self-hostable, etc.

There's a vibrant industry of similar tools - but lots of differences and room to innovate!

Just a few of the differences - Plasmic is/has....

- Not specific to MUI

- Supports actual design control (beyond theming)

- Supports defining reusable components in the editor, with slots/props/variants

- Suitable for websites and applications where page speed matters (static/SSR pre-rendering and data fetching, image optimization, etc.)

- More structured layout system

- Highly configurable UI for different personas - e.g. non-developers on the team

- Cross-project imports / reusable libraries

- Figma importer

- More...
