Optimize Resource Consumption and User Experience in Streamlit App

[IndigoWizard]

REMAINDER! Please make your PRs to the develop branch, not streamlit-app branch.

Main PR gist

This pull request addresses an issue with resource consumption and frequent app refreshes in the Streamlit app. The problem arose when the app gained popularity and was shared on social media, resulting in excessive resource consumption due to the way Streamlit handles user input where the app refreshes every time any input value is altered, causing crashes when it comes to multiple inputs.
