Comment on Csr.io - a better certificate signing request generator

Comments

Am I the only one missing an about page? There is no info whatsoever. For example I was wondering whether the certificate would be trusted by browsers or if it's self-signed. (Well it must be self-signed, it's too easy to sign one for facebook.com now, but not everybody knows that.) Who can I contact about bugs, feature requests, etc.?

Feature request: you might want to let Javascript generate the keypair so that people stop whining about letting someone else generate the private key. Although a valid argument, this isn't going to be used in production environments anyway.... Or is it, guys?!

Feature request: Let people set the key size. Also inform people about the key size (why 4096 is probably overkill at the moment).

Bug: You don't actually mention what the tool does. It generates some sort of certificate, but people will probably be under the impression that it will work instead of spawn another one of these: http://www.page-zone.com/SSL-warning-cpanel.jpg

It's making CSRs, not certificates.
