💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with alva-lab
Create a mini-application named 'AlvaLab Explorer' that leverages the 'alva-lab' Python package to manage and execute various experiments within a controlled lab environment. This application will serve as a user-friendly interface for scientists and researchers to set up, run, and analyze their experiments without needing deep technical knowledge about the underlying systems.

The core functionalities of the 'AlvaLab Explorer' include:
1. **Experiment Setup**: Users should be able to define new experiments by specifying parameters such as experiment name, type of experiment, input data sources, and output data destinations. The 'alva-lab' package will handle the validation and storage of these configurations.
2. **Experiment Execution**: Once an experiment is defined, users should have the ability to run it directly from the application. The 'alva-lab' package will manage the execution process, ensuring that all necessary resources are allocated and that the experiment runs smoothly.
3. **Real-time Monitoring**: During the execution phase, the application should provide real-time monitoring capabilities. This includes visualizing progress bars, graphs, and logs related to the ongoing experiment. The 'alva-lab' package will facilitate the streaming of relevant data to the application for visualization.
4. **Post-experiment Analysis**: After an experiment concludes, users should be able to perform basic analysis within the application itself. Features could include generating summary statistics, plotting results, and exporting data for further review. The 'alva-lab' package will assist in retrieving and processing the experimental outcomes.
5. **Experiment Management**: The application should allow users to manage multiple experiments. This includes listing all active and completed experiments, editing existing ones, and deleting experiments that are no longer needed.
6. **User Interface**: Develop a clean, intuitive UI using a framework like Flask or Django for web-based access, or Tkinter for desktop applications. The UI should be responsive and easy to navigate, catering to both novice and experienced users.
7. **Documentation and Help**: Include comprehensive documentation and help sections within the application to guide users through setup, configuration, and usage. The 'alva-lab' package documentation should be integrated into the application to ensure users can easily access detailed information.

Your task is to design and implement this application from scratch, utilizing the 'alva-lab' package effectively throughout the development process. Ensure that your implementation showcases the full potential of the package while providing a valuable tool for scientific experimentation.
