Barely anyone is going to go to the github, especially outside of HN, and only some of those people are going to read past the first image, so it's important that you get the most important information out there immediately. I glanced at the extended explanation and decided it would be faster to figure it out by putting stuff in the website. The instant visual feedback means you don't need to tell users every nuance of every command, but you do need to pick the specific details that users can use to learn everything else.

I have updated the implementation to incorporate your feedback as much as possible while maintaining accuracy in the command descriptions. Now there is also a new help screen which can be invoked by typing '?'.

I am hoping the information in the new help screen will make the commands easier to understand. However, if you or anyone has better ideas about describing the commands, please feel free to send pull requests.

Thank you for playing with this tool and for offering your feedback! It has been very helpful in refining the command descriptions.
