Hey, HN. I put a lot of time and thought into this GUI. I'd love some feeback.

I like the initial presentation -- it's very clean and focused. But when you click on the tabs/areas at the bottom, I have no idea what all that data is.

Perhaps it's just not aimed at me (that's probably a large part of it), but I had no idea what was going on there. Is there a way to contextualize it somehow or format it?

Ignore if I am just not getting it. But I do like the "Return to Top" button at the bottom.

Users "not getting it" seems like a bad thing to ignore. Did the welcome note not explain the site well? Or did you skim past it and go for the tabs?

I skimmed it and went for the tabs. A bad habit of mine, but a lot of users do this, too, I'd guess. It's a good idea, though, I think.
