My first first post and hoping for some product
Hi everyone, I've been lurking here for a while and I'm hoping to get some feed back on a side project I'm working on. Watch My Cert is an (another?) SSL monitoring service.
Link: https://watchmycert.com
I've seen the occasional comment indicating a desire for such a service. I'm hoping to make it stand out by offering integrations with things like Google Calendar, Slack, and customizable alerts.
My questions are, is this something you would pay for? Is there a feature that would be awesome but isn't listed?
Thanks!
Just for context, my feedback is from the standpoint of someone with a background in development and systems management.
I feel like the amount of money I would be willing to pay for you to monitor an SSL cert for me and send me a notification when it's about to expire might not be enough to make it worthwhile for you. $1/mo?
Also, the market itself might be working against you in a way. Since the advent of LetsEncrypt, so many of the services I use just do SSL cert management automatically. For the products I manage across AWS I don't worry about it anymore, ACM just takes care of it.
Maybe your target market here is larger organizations who would be more likely to have a lot of SSL certificates and also manually provision them? The risk mitigation positioning might be more relevant there. Maybe also expand to domain name expiration notification. Other expiry type services?
