Enhance onboarding and add guidance for users when creating a glose #397

Description

@nathanncrt

As a new or inexperienced user, I want clear guidance and labels in the interface when creating a document, so that I can understand how to use the application without confusion.

Context / Problem

Currently, the interface lacks guidance for new users:

  • The "+" button used to create a document has no label, making its purpose unclear
  • The home page does not provide any explanation of the available actions
  • After creating a document "from scratch", the editing interface lacks instructions or contextual help

This leads to:

  • Confusion for first-time users
  • Difficulty understanding how to start creating a glose
  • Risk of losing users due to poor onboarding experience

Proposed Solution

Improve the onboarding and clarity of the interface by:

  • Adding a label or tooltip to the "+" button
  • Providing basic guidance or empty-state messages on the home page
  • Enhancing the "from scratch" editor with:
    • Labels or placeholders explaining each section
    • Helper text to guide users on what to do
  • Optionally adding a tutorial mode:
    • A modal displayed on first use explaining the main features
  • Adding a link to the Hyperglosae documentation
