Ideas:

Creator Retention > User Acquisition

Top platforms succeed by treating creators as partners: transparent payouts, analytics, dispute support, and growth tools 

Creators increasingly diversify across platforms or build owned sites to reduce dependency (?)

Platforms that offer automation tools (scheduling, AI assistance, fan management) see higher creator loyalty (should research this aspect as well)

Microtransactions & Layered Monetization

Users prefer small, frequent payments over large subscriptions

Successful models layer: subscriptions + tips + PPV content + AI interactions + digital collectibles

This reduces regret-driven chargebacks and spreads revenue risk

Allow users to use their own domain!

Highly customizable creators page (?) but for now use just unified minimalistic design

Dark and bright themes (adjusted by user's browser settings)

Should there be watermarks? maybe don't use current brand name then.

allow creator branding: Branding

Optional platform badge; default subdomain (creator.yoursite.com)

✅ Custom domain, CSS, logo, bio

Separate service/app for listing crators from this platform

Monetization

Flexible engine: subscriptions, PPV, tips, bundles, AI features

✅ Choose which models to enable + set prices

Infrastructure

Hosting, payments, compliance tools, analytics

✅ Full access to data exports

endpoint that let's you watermark your content easily? and publish it right away? or option to add watermark before posting?

Watermarking

Auto-apply creator-chosen watermark (logo/text) to media

✅ Customize style, position, opacity

Qwen Summary:

Creator Settings Panel:

• Domain: • Use subdomain (free) • Connect custom domain (CNAME setup guide)
• Branding: • Upload logo, banner, color scheme • Custom CSS (advanced tier)
• Monetization: • Toggle: subscriptions / tips / PPV / bundles • Set prices, trial periods, geo-pricing
• Privacy: • Visibility: public / unlisted / invite-only • Age-gate customization per region
• Content: • Auto-watermark templates • Expiration rules for PPV content

Also brand name should better be something neutral and short (done.)

use 2 nginx reverse proxies from lat to spb (or from spb to lat? or just lat)

no cloudflare

s3 for MVP (dmn)

use philip j fry on pay button

Styling

main colors (light and dark)

• #ff9cb4
• #2a2022

background is always black, text is always white (use revert for themes?)

no transition / transform (ease), avoid box-shadow, only borders but rarely

what can be used: % of primary colorS (оттенок/shade//tone)/////////

in future (when project codebase size grows)

• add LazyRoutes (WASM splitting) -> https://book.leptos.dev/deployment/binary_size.html
• split css for per-page styles

payment in iframe - without leaving page (!!)

one-time-purchase payment links (without registration) <- that's massive
