Self-Signed Certificate Generator
A web tool that simplifies SSL/TLS certificate generation for developers without requiring command-line tools. Developers need quick, accessible ways to create certificates for local development and testing.
The need for local SSL certificates has actually gotten easier to solve over time, not harder — tools like mkcert have become the de facto standard and require minimal setup, meaning the problem this addresses is already well-solved for most developers. mkcert is the clear incumbent substitute, and it's free, offline, and trusted by the community. A $0–500/mo revenue ceiling reflects the reality that developers won't pay for something they can do in one terminal command, and free alternatives like Let's Encrypt and browser-based workarounds further compress any willingness to pay. The fatal risk is irrelevance: the target user is competent enough to find mkcert in thirty seconds, and the user who genuinely can't run a CLI tool is rarely the one setting up local TLS in the first place.
