It's a lot like reading code, once you know what it means, it becomes clear. The more you read it, the more fluent you become in reading it. And different clefs are simply different languages (closely related ones) the words mean the same but they are just written slightly different. :D
Very nice article. 👌
Maybe you could add some mnemonics for which note can be sharp or flat in each clef like the FACE or ACE-G one for the spaces in the treble and bass clef. 🤔

this article was way more confusing that i feel it needs to be.

All you really need to understand is that a clef just tells you what note and octave the first ledger line represents. In Treble clef this is E4 (The note E in the 4th octave on a piano). In bass clef it's G2.

Thus a bass clef is just a treble clef shifted up one ledger line and two octaves lower. EGBDF(A) to (E)GBDFA

A grand staff is just a treble above a bass clef with with a single ledger line between them (middle C / C4).
