I love it, way to go! You should submit it as a "Show HN" 1. You should charge for it. Maybe after a month of monitoring or something. 2. Give more actionable responses. Maybe some links or directions on how to fix the issues. 3. Can you make any money on affiliate links to paid certificates? If not, direct people to Letsencrypt when their cert expires.

Thanks! I did submit a Show HN, but I only got 1 or 2 upvotes and a few visitors... Go figure, this comment had more success!

As for charging or monetizing one way or another, I'm still thinking of the best way. It's not easy when you already have 300 free users.

And I've already considered giving more actionable advice, it's in the backlog already!

But thanks for your comments!

You can always give your free user's a discount or an extended free period. It's a pretty standard practice. Some will leave, some will pay. And that's ok.
