Description

Visiting this repos mybinder example, both using the old stable branch as in the README, or the current master branch, gives us:

This is because mybinder.org won't automatically realize it should install the jupyterlab extension. We would need an apt.txt file in the repo for that to happen where we write:

jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager
jupyter labextension install jupyter-matplotlib

Also, update the readme to use the master branch may be simpler than remembering to update the stable branch?

Research direction

Start by checking the README's MyBinder badge URL and whether an apt.txt file is present, then launch the referenced MyBinder examples on the documented branch. Done means the badge opens a working environment with the required JupyterLab extensions and the README points to the intended branch.
