How I took back my sleep with a Micro-SaaS app

Let me tell you a little story—one that's all too familiar for many of us in the tech world.

I had a 9 to 5 tech job in a company where we managed a small set of websites. Despite all the advanced technologies and monitoring systems in place, there was one thing that seemed to always slip through the cracks: SSL certificate renewals.

Imagine the scene: It's the middle of the night. My phone buzzes incessantly. Panic sets in as I realize that yet another website under our portfolio has gone down. The reason? An expired SSL certificate. It wasn’t the first time, and every occurrence was a harsh reminder that no matter how advanced our systems were, something as simple as an expired SSL could disrupt everything.

Now, while these websites were for my employer, the responsibility of getting them back up often fell on my shoulders. The stress, the constant paranoia of another site going down, the broken sleep—I was tired (literally and figuratively).

In my quest for better sleep and peace of mind, I decided to build something in my spare time. So here I introduce https://WatchMySSL.com, which will help you:
