Thanks for the feedback! I agree that it's not very intuitive. I made a YouTube video explaining all the features: https://youtu.be/LFVomixflio

I wanted to keep the UI very minimal, so that once you learned the features the interface was very simple. But you bring up a good point that first-time users might get confused.

I'll put this on my todo list and try to figure out a way to provide help for first time visitors while not cluttering the UI for experienced users.

a common pattern is to make help content visible by default (you've got lots of room for it, even if it was just some of the help text you already have), and allow it to be easily dismissable, or dismiss it automatically after some time (subsequent page loads or similar).
