v0.9.0 - Public launch era (2025)
Chill SSL launched publicly around July 2025. Before formal V1 versioning (1.0.0), the product shipped a large stream of improvements, far more than we list here. This section is a thematic summary of that launch era, not an exhaustive bug list.
Improved
- SSL monitor UX: dashboard clarity, status at a glance, filtering, and day-to-day ways to monitor SSL certificates that feel faster and less noisy.
- SSL reminders: more useful SSL expiry reminder workflows and preferences so alerts arrive when they help, not when they overwhelm.
- SSL notifications: clearer status-change and digest-style messaging as the notification system matured.
- Checkout and billing: smoother path from pricing to a working subscription and SSL monitor access.
- Short-lived certificate readiness: product direction toward 6-day and automated renewals, not only year-long certs.
- Light and dark experience: ongoing UI polish so this SSL tool is comfortable in either theme.
- Reliability and trust: thousands of under-the-hood fixes and refinements across SSL monitoring, accounts, and alerts that made the launch-era product progressively more dependable.
Added
- Public product presence at www.chillssl.com with growing SSL Guides, SSL Glossary, and blog content.
- Customer SSL monitoring app experience leading into the formal V1 app at app.chillssl.com.
Tip for readers: from
1.0.0onward we publish numbered releases with concrete, customer-facing notes. Pre-1.0.0 work is summarised here so the story of Chill SSL does not look like it started in 2026.
