I seem to be unable to visit the site, I receive an SSL error on multiple browsers. NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID Edit: from Sweden if it matters

You can move over to Norway when the covid19 crisis is over. The website works here.

It would be a nice to indicate with a small symbol next to each whether you need to give them your credit card details or not.

This is my common issue with "free" services. It's free, but you have to input your credit card. Ah and also, if your website blows up, such as from being top 10 on HNews, you'll have to pay, but don't worry about that now.

The first hit is always "free". As in "free puppy", not "free beer".

I love your “free as in free puppy” line. I will have to use it myself in the future.

It would be neat if HN could offer something like "Login By Facebook" that returned user/create date/karma. Would make a nice testbed for offering free stuff while having some high pass filter like "HN account > 3 months old and has > 500 karma."

What about those of us with 10 year old accounts and <500 karma since we're quiet? :).
