I built a free micro-learning website. People visit, but almost nobody starts a lesson. What am I missing?

I recently launched a small project called Skill Roulette, built with React, TypeScript and Vite.

The concept is simple: spin a wheel, get a random practical skill, and learn it through a short interactive lesson.

There are currently 8 skills covering things like recognizing phishing links, comparing prices and searching Google more effectively.

It's completely free and requires no account.

Here's the problem I'm trying to solve:

I've started sharing the project on Instagram, YouTube and Reddit.

A few international visitors have reached the website, but I haven't yet recorded a confirmed lesson start from those visitors.

The sample is very small, so I'm not drawing big conclusions. However, it has made me question whether the homepage communicates the value clearly enough.

I'd love your honest UX feedback.

If you have 3 minutes:

Open the website.
Tell me whether it's immediately clear what to do.
Spin the wheel and try one lesson.
Let me know where you lose interest, if you do.

I'm especially interested in feedback on the first screen and the transition into the lesson.

Live website:

I'm trying to validate the experience before building more features, so criticism is genuinely useful.

Thanks for taking a look!
