The [original announcement of Panel](https://blog.holoviz.org/posts/panel_announcement/index.html) is almost 5 years old, but it’s still a very good rundown of why Panel is so valuable. In fact, it’s still linked by the current [Getting Started](https://panel.holoviz.org/getting_started/index.html) documentation.

(Links below are not allowed for me, evidently “new users can only put two links in a post”.)

In the `Flexible APIs` section, some links are (now) broken, including `just a few lines of Python code`] and the Panel `user guide`.

Of course links don’t last forever, and maybe it’s nitpicky, but given that the announcement is “still current” in some sense, maybe it’s worth fixing? I think especially the “just a few lines of Python code” is great marking for all of HoloViz.

Thx. I took a look. The source is here.

There are a lot of things that have changed since the original announcement including features and documentation. I believe it would require changing the text of the original announcement to be able to include meaningful links today.

The source is [here](https://github.com/holoviz-dev/blog/blob/main/posts/panel_announcement/index.ipynb) if anyone is interested in making a PR.
