Having no UI is an insight more developers should embrace. Getting a UI/UX design right is extremely hard for small systems and down-right impossible in larger ones.
When you have simple problems try not to overthink them and avoid designing or adding feature that will lead to the need for more UI interaction.
I worked on simple problems (e-commerce) where we added different purchase options, payment methodes that would only be preferred by a tiny minority and weird shipping companies. It complicated everything, just so we could have options only a few percentage of users would care about. It generated a ton of work for support. The main question was: “Don’t people read?” No, mostly they don’t. Users rely on imagery and visual clues, not line after line of text. If your UI is so complex that people are fequired to read, then you already lost.
