Last week we issued a challenge to the Xamarin community to use the new Material Design controls with Visual by reproducing an existing screen.

The goal for us was to learn if the new Visual feature was easy to use, how helpful the Material Design controls were for meeting design needs, and what we should do next to make this capability really sing. You really took to the challenge and exceeded our expectations
