Honestly, you need to refine the admin areas as well. It's just not that intuitive even to a power user. The UI is a vibe coded mess and looks like a UX nightmare after checking out the demo in more depth. It needs more polish. Sure there are "powerful features" under the hood but you have to take the front end seriously here as well, not serve up this kind of slop for commercial use.

Fair feedback, but I think you’re looking at a technical control layer as if it was supposed to behave like a casual end-user app.
The admin was built that way on purpose because it’s meant to give very deep control over the platform, not just a simplified surface dashboard. A lot of what sits behind it is highly technical, and naturally not every user will immediately understand every function at first glance. That’s exactly why the more advanced parts are documented in the FAQ, and why active support is available for any question or onboarding need.
The simpler areas are already the ones intended for practical day-to-day use, like managing cams, ads, routing and the core discovery flow. The rest exists because the backend is doing far more than a lightweight consumer panel. It handles a large number of moving parts, options and controls across the platform.
Even from the screenshots, the front end is not some random mess. It clearly shows structured discovery paths: provider listings, legal and compliance sections, category and tag grouping, live room surfacing, fast-entry links, and search-oriented navigation. That’s not accidental it’s deliberate architecture built around discovery, compliance and control.
Also, a large part of the platform is written in Rust specifically to handle heavy loads more efficiently and reduce hosting resource consumption. That was a deliberate engineering choice focused on performance, stability and scalability, not just appearance.
Could polish be improved further? Of course. Any serious product can always be refined. But complexity alone doesn’t mean bad design. In this case, a lot of what you’re calling unintuitive is simply the result of the platform offering a high degree of control under the hood.
So I’m fine with specific criticism, but there’s a difference between “this could be polished more” and pretending there’s no structure or logic behind it. There is it’s just more technical than what some people expect at first glance.
