select2
Select2 is a jQuery based replacement for select boxes. It supports searching, remote data sets, and infinite scrolling of results.
Choices.js is a JavaScript library for creating custom select boxes, text inputs, and multi-select inputs. It is popular for its flexibility and ability to handle complex select components without relying on jQuery. It is like Select2 and Selectize but written in vanilla JavaScript so it is lighter and more modern.

Project mention: Ask HN: Framework for Quick Python or Java and Web UIs? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-02
I'm not sure I understand what you want, but... If want you want is a generic way to interface with a bunch of small tools that take some parameters and output some file, read on. If not, sorry.
One thing you might do is abstract over something like dat.GUI [0]
(Note: I like dat.GUI but understand it hasn't seen development lately and you might be concerned about that. In that case, substitute dat.GUI for Tweakpane [1] and the idea is still the same)
dat.GUI creates a sort of control panel with various types of inputs based on whatever you want to manipulate. Something like this [2].
The code to produce it can be abstracted quite nicely. So you could simply create a small generic script to create a panel from just a JS object with the properties you want to manipulate. You'd link this to a simple submit against your server-side binary.
Now, the only thing that remains is presenting the output. I'm guessing that today you're generating an image but in some other case your output may be a text file or something else. For a lot of things you can just relay on the browser if you output to an and let the browser sort it. In most cases it will display it and when not, it could offer to download & save with the correct headers.<p>[0] <a href="https://github.com/dataarts/dat.gui">https://github.com/dataarts/dat.gui</a><p>[1] <a href="https://tweakpane.github.io/docs/" rel="nofollow">https://tweakpane.github.io/docs/</a><p>[2] <a href="https://imgur.com/a/em4qKl7" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/em4qKl7</a>
