glazskunrukitis··on Show HN: Selectable – mobile-friendly Postgres client
I, as an indie hacker/developer, have had countless times where I need to access db from mobile. I have even logged in via terminal to get to psql.

Sadly this specific app doesn't seem very polished or useful.

Check out Datazenit - http://datazenit.com/ It is a web based database administration tool. In addition to your asked features it has data visualization and rich content editor.

Where is the problem? Does the tld somehow interfere with you?
glazskunrukitis··on Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses?
Sorry that you had to see that, we had a little SSL downtime today while we renewed our certificates. All systems are operational now.
glazskunrukitis··on Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses?
I am a reseller. GetSSL.me processes customer's order, requests a certificate from certificate authority (e.g. Comodo) and then they send the certificates to the customer.

The point of GetSSL.me is simplicity, price and support. If you were buying directly from Comodo, you would overpay a great amount, because reseller prices are much cheaper.

A lot of clutter has been removed from ordering process and you can get certificate in just a few minutes. Our support is friendly and helps with basically anything. Also a lot of people want to buy stuff from small, approachable businesses not from large corporations (e.g. GoDaddy).

Pato11's stories are always inspiring and interesting to read. They were a huge motivator to start my own business, which I eventually did.

My first attempt in online business was GetSSL.me (https://getssl.me), which has been one-man shop most of the time. It was pretty simple to set up and run, but the biggest pain point was payments, because of my geographic location. Also marketing was a big issue, because I am not a marketer and had to learn everything on the go. To be honest it was more like trial and error approach.

glazskunrukitis··on Ask HN: What's the largest website hosted on Digital Ocean?
SSL provider getssl.me is also hosted on Digital Ocean.
glazskunrukitis··on This website has a lot of unclosed h3 tags
This is actually brilliant... and funny. I stayed on the website and browsed it for the last 15 minutes.

glazskunrukitis··on The Data Visualisation Catalogue
When the visualizations are interactive, it would be really awesome!
glazskunrukitis··on The Magic of strace
Yes, you are probably right, but the direct link to .tar.gz was not reasonable.
glazskunrukitis··on The Magic of strace
Why do you link directly to the download file? A link to the tool's man page[1] would be sufficient.

glazskunrukitis··on Ask HN: What's the worst you've ever screwed up at work?
Two screw ups come to mind.

1. First day at a job. I need to get familiar with a legacy system and get a SQL dump from it to create a local copy of the database. After some SSHing and MySQLing, I confuse my two split terminal panes and end up importing my local dump to production server. Of course database names and users were the same so I end up dropping the database. No biggie. Backups were available from previous day.

2. Similar story to the first one. I got a new shiny Zend Studio IDE. Want to set up sync with remote server (just a static company website with no version control). Fill all the settings, press the sync button - and what happens? Zend Studio somehow figured that I want to force sync my local folder, which is empty, to the remote site, and it just deletes everything on the web root and uploads my empty folder. Wat. Should have read the settings twice.

glazskunrukitis··on Python and Flask Are Powerful
That's basically on of the main reasons why I built getssl.me. I was fed up with the over-complicated process of buying a SSL certificate.

Your variation seems even simpler and more straightforward - congrats on launching and all the best for your project!

glazskunrukitis··on How's my SSL?
There is also this one - https://getssl.me/en/ssl-checker/news.ycombinator.com

I wonder how does JackDB compare to Datazenit[0]? Looks interesting though.

glazskunrukitis··on Where To Buy An SSL Certificate
I would highly recommend GetSSL.
glazskunrukitis··on Ask HN: What kind of side projects are you working on?
I built a SSL certificate store GetSSL.me[0] and so far it has been really great. Our goal is to make SSL certificates available to everyone.

glazskunrukitis··on Namecoin, A Replacement For SSL
Yeah, I had the same exact reaction. You can purchase SSL certificates really cheap nowadays, and even business ones costs under $100, e.g., here - https://getssl.me/en/ssl-certificates.

glazskunrukitis··on Ask HN: Do you know of any good mail hosts with an API?
First that comes to mind is Zoho. They have pretty similar offering to Google Apps for Business.
glazskunrukitis··on Ask HN: What are you working on and why is it cool?
I am working on a side-project in my spare time - GetSSL.me [1]. The idea is to sell inexpensive certificates and offer friendly support. All certificates are hand picked and we only offer the best of them.

Wasn't it already open source?
glazskunrukitis··on Poll: Which platforms do you develop for?
Web has always been the most appealing platform, because it is free, open and easy to develop for. Most other platforms are proprietary, the tech is more narrowed down and developer needs more resources to start creating apps.

I wouldn't consider this "looking good". Last time I checked you still had to put great amount of work to get them to look halfway decent [1].

glazskunrukitis··on Ask HN: Good budget SSL certificate?
Verisign is really enterprisey. At the end of the day there is no real difference between getssl.me $7 certificate[1] and some other one for $100, as long as we are speaking about domain validated certificates.

glazskunrukitis··on Ask HN: What SSL certificate provider are you using and why?
http://getssl.me is quite awesome if you ask me
glazskunrukitis··on Google App Engine PHP Runtime now available to everyone
I have come to a conclusion that the biggest haters are the ones who were unable to learn and fully understand the language. They are really quick to bash and hate because that's way easier.

Of course there are flaws and of course there are better designed languages out there, but PHP is not going anywhere.
