I built a website with no instructions — here’s what happened

I built a small experimental web experience:

https://rallymean.netlify.app

There are no instructions, no navigation, and no defined goal.

Instead of guiding users, the experience relies entirely on curiosity and exploration. Some people keep going, trying to understand the structure. Others leave almost immediately.

This made me think about something:

How much guidance do we actually need to stay engaged?

At what point does mystery turn into frustration?

I’m curious how others approach something like this — whether you explore freely or prefer at least some direction.
