What is SpectraGuru?

SpectraGuru is a spectra analysis application designed to provide user-friendly tools for processing and visualizing spectra, aimed at accelerating your research. It functions as a dashboard or a specialized tool within a Python environment, organized with various modular functions that allow users to process spectroscopy data in a pipeline. SpectraGuru is based on the Python streamlit framework.
