I rewrote my 2012 self-signed cert generator in Go – cert-depot.com▲9
Back in 2012 I built https://cert-depot.com as a weekend project. Node.js + Express + jQuery, shelling out to OpenSSL for certificate generation. It worked but I eventually let it rot. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4766743 Rewrote it from scratch in Go. The entire thing is a single binary with no external dependencies: 1. Certificate generation uses Go's crypto/x509 (no OpenSSL) 2. Certificates are generated in memory and streamed directly — nothing is stored on the server 3. RSA 2048/4096 and ECDSA P-256/P-384 4.

SelfCertForge, manage root CAs and self-signed certs on macOS/Windows▲5
Hi, HN! I recently published SelfCertForge, an open source desktop app for creating and managing self-signed certificates on macOS and Windows: https://github.com/rbonestell/SelfCertForge/ I know, I know... this isn't an earth-shattering invention. This came from a place of years of personal annoyance. I’ve been maintaining scripts that wrapped OpenSSL for local certificate workflows: create a long-lived root cert, add it to the trust store, then generate and sign child certificates for local services. The scripts work but the workflow was clunky. Used infrequently…

Website for creating self-signed certificates▲6
If you're developing locally and need to use HTTPS for whatever, then this tool is hopefully useful to you. I made it because there's a lot of bad info online about generating self-signed certificates. For instance, a lot of guides don't use the SAN list extension or show you how to create a proper certificate chain. Firefox doesn't allow a CA certificate to be used as an end certificate. Getting a working certificate can get pretty confusing, especially for newcomers to certificates or webdev. Having a website for this also means the process of getting a certificate is the same, no matter…
