Hi @gamicord, thanks for giving L&L a try and I’m sorry to hear that you’re 100% confused! The main purpose of this plugin is to more easily work with the data that’s in your site’s database and display it or work with it on the front end of your site. It essentially takes a lot of the stuff you’d usually do with PHP (querying data from the database, evaluating logic, rendering data, etc.) and allow you to do that with simple HTML syntax instead. Each of the dynamic tags in L&L offers different functionality, so if you want an overview of what each tag can do, you can see an overview in the documentation here.

I assume the functionality you’re trying to replicate in the screenshot is the dropdown that allows users to filter content on the front end of your site. L&L templates get rendered when the page loads, so when it comes to adding interactivity to the front end of your site, that’s generally something you’d use Javascript for or another plugin. In other words, you can use L&L to create a dynamic grid of all your posts and then you can use Javascript to hide or show certain of those items based on how the user interacts with your site. If you’re not familiar with JS, I’ve also seen people use L&L to create their dynamic post grid and then use a plugin like FacetWP to handle the front-end filtering side of things. This requires some PHP tinkering to get it set up so it’s not the simplest approach, but FacetWP is really powerful so you get lots of functionality there. The other approach I’ve seen people use is instead of using a dropdown, you could create buttons that link to a page (maybe even the current page) with URL query parameters like mysite.com/page/?category=type1. Then in your L&L template, you could use the Url tag’s query attribute to modify your L&L template based on the value of the parameter in the current URL.

I hope that helps explain what parts of this you will be able to use L&L for and what parts you won’t. Thanks for your question!
