Wtf does this do

Demo Taipy GUI Starter 1 is a beginner-friendly tutorial project that introduces you to Taipy, a Python library for building interactive web applications without needing to write HTML, CSS, or JavaScript. It is the companion code for the first video in a series on Taipy's GUI capabilities, designed to help Python developers create business applications with visual interfaces. The project demonstrates how to build a basic application page using Markdown syntax, the same simple formatting language used for README files. You write your page layout in Markdown, then use Taipy's visual elements like sliders and charts to add interactivity. A key concept shown here is variable binding: when a user moves a slider, the connected variable updates automatically, and any charts or other elements tied to that variable refresh on their own. This starter is aimed at Python developers or analysts who want to turn their data and logic into a shareable web app without learning a full frontend framework. For example, if you have a data analysis script and want to let teammates adjust parameters and see results in a chart, this project shows the first steps toward that goal. The README explicitly labels it as a beginner-level demo, so no prior experience with Taipy is expected. The actual source code lives in the src/ directory, and the project uses Pipenv for dependency management. Beyond that, the README does not go into detail about what the finished demo looks like or what specific data it visualizes. You would need to follow the installation instructions and run the code, or watch the accompanying video, to see the application in action. The project is licensed under Apache 2.0, so you are free to use and modify it.

Yoink these prompts

Prompt 1
Install this Taipy starter project with Pipenv, run the app from the src directory, and show me what the demo application looks like when it opens in my browser.
Prompt 2
Using Taipy GUI, create a simple Python app where a slider controls a variable and a chart updates automatically when the slider moves, just like in this starter demo.
Prompt 3
Explain how variable binding works in Taipy GUI using the Markdown layout approach shown in this starter, then help me add a second slider that affects the same chart.
