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 not specific to MUI

- Supports actual design control (beyond theming)

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

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

- Has a more structured layout system

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

- Has cross-project imports / reusable libraries

- Has Figma import

- More...
