💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with APLpy
Your task is to develop a simple yet powerful web-based astronomical image viewer using the Python package 'APLpy'. This tool will allow users to upload FITS files (commonly used in astronomy for storing images and data), visualize them, and perform basic analysis. The application should include the following features:

1. **User Interface**: Design a clean, intuitive interface where users can upload their FITS files. Ensure the UI supports navigation through multiple images if a file contains more than one.
2. **Image Visualization**: Utilize APLpy to display the uploaded FITS images. Implement features such as zooming, panning, and toggling between different color scales (e.g., grayscale, infrared).
3. **Basic Analysis Tools**: Integrate tools that allow users to measure distances and angles on the displayed images. Also, provide functionality to calculate and display the average brightness of selected regions.
4. **Save & Share**: Allow users to save the current view of the image (with all applied settings) as a PNG file. Additionally, implement a feature to generate a URL link that allows others to view the same image configuration without needing to upload the file again.
5. **Documentation & Help**: Include a brief tutorial within the application explaining how to use the various features, especially for those who might not be familiar with FITS files or astronomical imaging.

To achieve these goals, you'll primarily rely on APLpy for handling and displaying FITS files. Explore its documentation to find functions and methods that facilitate image visualization and manipulation. Consider using Flask or Django for the web framework, and integrate APLpy within these frameworks to create a seamless user experience.
