This. GW should get the Wahapedia creator out of Russia somehow and pay him to fork his site. Make it 5 pounds a month, with codex updates and faqs applied to one searchable database. Make codices more "fluff, art, and lore" with no rules content in them that's not also available on the website.
They'd never do it because there's some suit who thinks they could squeeze even more money out of people doing it some more tortuous way, but it'd be really good for the game. Get that subscription model going.
Why make people pay for it when every other big game has the rules out for free?

Every other project eventually burned out the developers which had to constantly keep up the the changing game.
I find the UI just fine to be honest. Not sure how it isn't user friendly.
No dark mode. Luckily there is an organized effort to replace BattleScribe. I forget who they are called.
