Show HN: I built a text-based business simulator to replace video courses

I've been on the site for 10m, and I'm loving it. I find the interface quite confusing. I'm getting value from the theory tidbits, and the scenarios. The simulation was confusing and i just noped out. I'd say the UI is a bit too overdone

Thanks for investing 10 minutes! Hearing that the theory and scenarios provide value is huge for me.

I suspected the UI might be too "loud." It’s a delicate balance between style and usability, and I might have pushed the brutalism too far.

Regarding the Simulation "nope out" moment — was it simply unclear what to do (lack of buttons/direction), or was the screen just too overwhelming with numbers?

Unclear what to do. I obviously could have invested another 30s and figured it out.

I really like the scenarios - i think there's a lot of value there. I wonder if you can double down on that somehow.

Ah, got it.

Thanks again, I still need to work on the user interface to make things clearer and more understandable.
