The best way to improve the Pool Registry and UI/UX for stacking with any pool is via a grant https://grants.stacks.org. Pool Registry is open sourced at https://github.com/friedger/stacks-pool-registry
For delegated stacking,
https://pool.xverse.app is a UX improvement over https://stacks-pool-registry.pages.dev/pools However, users don't have the choice on pool.xverse.app who they want to trust.
Looking at improving stacking on #Stacks, the best is to implement version 2.1 of stacks with adjustable amounts (see stack-increase https://github.com/stacks-network/stacks-blockchain/projects/11). Currently, only custodian stacking pools like akadiko can solve the compound interest problem for stacking.
