💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with atunnel 
Create a simple yet powerful web application using Python that leverages the 'atunnel' package to expose local web servers to the public internet through Cloudflare's Quick Tunnels service. This application will serve as a versatile development tool for testing locally-hosted websites and applications in a live environment without the need for traditional domain names or IP addresses.

Steps to develop the application:
1. Set up a basic Flask or Django web server running on your local machine.
2. Integrate the 'atunnel' package into your project to automatically create a tunnel to Cloudflare's network whenever the web server starts.
3. Implement a user-friendly interface that displays the URL of the exposed web server in real-time.
4. Add functionality to start, stop, and manage multiple tunnels simultaneously.
5. Include options to customize the tunnel settings such as enabling/disabling HTTPS support and setting up custom subdomains if available.
6. Ensure the application logs any errors or important events related to tunnel creation and management for debugging purposes.
7. Finally, wrap the entire setup into a single executable script or a graphical user interface for easy deployment and use.

Suggested Features:
- Automatic tunnel creation upon starting the local web server.
- Real-time status updates of the tunnels including URLs and connection statuses.
- Support for managing multiple tunnels with separate configurations.
- Option to enable/disable HTTPS for each tunnel.
- Customizable logging system to track tunnel activities and issues.
- User-friendly GUI or command-line interface for ease of use.
