My new service - Certician, a tool for monitoring your SSL certificates

Hello HNers. I'm launching my new service, Certician, and I'd love some feedback from HN users. A while back, I asked if anyone knew of any good, simple tools or services for monitoring SSL certificates [1]. I didn't find any compelling services, so I decided to build one. I tried to keep it simple, since it's self-run and bootstrapped. I know my landing page needs help. It's a lot harder to distill down a service (even a simple one) into compelling, actionable copy than I thought! I have to work at my real job today, so I'll only be able to reply when I have time to take a break for a…

  • My Book Bulletproof TLS and PKI (Second Edition) Is Out2022 · feistyduck.com · ▲134

    Hello HN. I am excited to share with you my new book, Bulletproof TLS and PKI. I've worked in this space since the very early days (think SSLv2), always frustrated with the fact that the field is vast but the documentation poor. That first led me to create SSL Labs (which ended up being very popular) and then the first edition of my book (in 2014), where I aimed to cover everything a curious person needed to know about SSL/TLS and PKI. Most importantly, it's a very practical book that you can use to just learn what you need at that moment. The second edition (just out) adds coverage of…

    Hey HN, I'm [Your Name], the solo founder of WatchMySSL. This tool keeps track of your SSL certificates in one dashboard and sends alerts before they expire, eliminating downtime risks and SEO penalties that can harm your business. I'm eager for your thoughts on: * Use case: Does this solve a problem for you? * Solution: Any features you’d like to see? * Pricing: It's free, but considering a paid version. What features would you consider paying for?

    I built an end user announcement service that needs no deploys2024 · ▲8

    Hey everyone! My name is Will. I’ve been leading engineering teams for over two decades. Also, first time HN user here! One of the common pains I’d encounter in nearly every product I managed was alerting end users to infrequent events like outages, global announcements, beta launches, planned maintenance, etc. We’d always need to deploy custom, one-off modals or other alerts and then have to remember to revert them later. It was always a time sink for a developer to put aside what they were working on to make this happen. This Is Not A Drill! is a simple-to-install JS SDK that makes it…
