Hi, I made this some years ago. In fact it was the reason to sign up as a hacker news user :) I didn't had the time to update it, so some things are broken (login, auto complete). And the open source project never caught traction.

I'm quite disappointed with justin.tv. I recently signed up for a 1-day-trial and they added a $9.99 recurring payment to my paypal account. It seems a bit sneaky, something you would expect from a porn site, but not from a yc startup.

I use the StartSSL Wildcard/Class2 certificate and I'm quite happy with it. The validation process is really quick and easy: you send them a scan of your id/passport or similar and some grumpy guy from israel calls you and asks for your nam
