You may want to grab a few friends, turn on screen sharing, and ask them to try this tool without providing any description of how it works. Because I have no idea what this does or how it’s supposed to help.

First I clicked start, nothing happened, I entered some text, the text was invisible, I hit pause, nothing happened, and I bounced. (On mobile.)

Agree on the point above. Was lost till I clicked on the "i" button on the top right corner that gave me some info and then connected me to https://blog.markgrowth.com/a-free-tool-for-problem-solving-... which explains what the tool is about in more detail.

I suggest that OP might want to link to this from a prominent location on the site.

+1 exact same experience. I even had to google ideation just to verify that it meant what I thought it did, because this tool had confused me.

Anyway, good job OP for building something but for sure it needs more info.
