Show HN: Anchor Relay – A faster, easier way to get Let's Encrypt certificates

From the cryptic terminal commands to the innumerable ways to shoot yourself in the foot, I always struggled to use TLS certificates. I love how much easier (and cheaper) Let's Encrypt made it to get certificates, but there are still plenty of things to struggle with.

That's why we built Relay: a free, browser-based tool that streamlines the ACME workflow, especially for tricky setups like homelabs. Relay acts as a secure intermediary between your ACME client and public certificate authorities like Let's Encrypt.

Some ways Relay provides a better experience:

  - really fast, streamlined certificates in minutes, with any ACME client
  - one-time upfront DNS delegation without inbound traffic or DNS credentials sprinkled everywhere
  - clear insights into the whole ACME process and renewal reminders

Please give it a try (it only takes a couple minutes) and let me know what you think.
