I recently launched Watch My SSL to scratch my own itch. It notifies you before your SSL certificates expire. I know many SSL providers do this internally, but it's nice to see them all in one dashboard. In fact, even though we use LetsEncrypt for my main job, it's happened more than once that the autorenewal scripts failed and we only noticed when users started complaining.

If you have any feedback, I'd love to read it.

Tell me about this. I got 3 rejections, the last 2 about point 3.2 ("the app crashes"), after neither anyone in my team nor at our MS contact team was able to experience any problems. And the only feedback was a PDF showing a snapshot of the Windows desktop and some text that the JPEG compression had rendered unreadable. I thought it was a joke. Luckily a support person was nice enough to spend time reviewing the app and helped me discover the problem. Which was due to unclear and misleading expectations about the review process. Oh well...
