(Simulation) User Interfaces Concept and Design

A significant amount of very useful code has been written by users, beamline scientists, and other facility staff over the year, but actually using it always has a number of barriers to entry such as discovery,setup, configuration, correct execution, etc… One way to eliminate these barriers is creating a user interface which interacts with these existing tools, and hosting it as a web application which can be accessed directly from the browser. To demonstrate this, a proof of concept web application has been created for X-ray solution scattering simulations, which helps assess the viability of experimental setups.
