It's like in a math textbook where they say the word, obviously. No, it might NOT be obvious to your reader. See the story of Shizuo Kakutani teaching: https://curiosamathematica.tumblr.com/post/122398968526/obvi...
It might "just" be simple to you, but that could be with your years of knowledge. Write for your audience. If it's an informational blogpost? "just" might annoy people who do get confused because they think it should be easy. "Just" make the app.
Step 1. Draw a circle.
Step 2. Just finish the lion.
Why can't you draw from my instructions?
The same principle is why I try not to teach any game as "Simple", even when it is to me. Some people cannot follow rules to a game, no matter how simple, and then are frustrated when the "simple" game doesn't come to them. Why add that layer of negativity?
