CyberPanel UX Feels Like It Was Designed for Children — Here's a Real Admin’s Breakdown

I’ve used CyberPanel for production workloads for years, but this new UI redesign is a serious step backwards for power users. I’m not trying to be harsh — I want to help — but the current GUI feels like it was designed for a touchscreen kiosk, not a systems administrator in 2025.

:cross_mark: Major UX Failures

No Right-Click / New Tab Support
    “Manage” buttons are JS-driven, not anchor tags.
    You can’t open multiple site settings in new tabs. That’s brutal for admins managing 30+ domains.

Wasted Screen Real Estate
    Bubble-style gradients, oversized buttons, and huge margins = 1999 design wrapped in 2021 fluff.
    We need density. Show me 50 domains in one screen, sortable, filterable, drillable.

Functionally Shallow Dashboard
    30 Sites, 34 Databases, 4 Emails — with zero context.
    Where’s my:
        Disk usage per domain?
        Active SSL certs list?
        Quick status flags?
        Process restarts?

No Batch Actions or Fast Navigation
    Can’t select multiple domains to restart, backup, or delete.
    No fuzzy search. No tagging. No smart sorting.

Graphs That Tell Me Nothing
    The “traffic” graph is cosmetic only. I need:
        Endpoint usage
        Time filtering
        Alerts or spikes

:white_check_mark: What It Should Look Like (Minimum 2025 Expectations)

Right-clickable/manageable links (open in new tab)
Table view toggle with bulk actions
One-click access to logs, SSL, DB, and disk usage per site
Customizable dashboard with drag-and-drop widgets
Instant search by domain, IP, or tag
Optional dark mode for long sessions

:backhand_index_pointing_down: Who Else Feels This?

This isn’t a hate post. I’m asking the devs: will you bring the UX up to power-admin standards?

I have to agree with you.

Thank you - There are tools like: Pythagora Examples | From Idea to Launched

that will code front end UX for you and you own the code.

I do agree with you and the most notable to me was the extra-large paddings and margins, I’d rather it be more concise so I can have more at my disposal. I literally injected css to remove those stuff an also fix the font size in some locations which are too small.

From what I’ve seen over on Facebook, it was provided to them by a user as a Figma file which they have implemented.

If we do have designers in here that can provide a more intuitive design which provides a proper UX, they will be willing to implement.
