I built a security scanner, never shipped it, and finally finished the job

Short summary

Developer shipped SecURL, a comprehensive security scanner combining header, TLS, DMARC, SPF, DKIM, DNSSEC, and redirect checks with OWASP-ranked findings. After six months unshipped, they resolved UX issues, marketing gaps, and established Twitter/Product Hunt presence. Free at app.securl.online.

  • SecURL detects security issues across HTTP headers, TLS configuration, email trust records, third-party script exposure, and redirect chains in ~30 seconds
  • Author unshipped for six months but shipped after fixing UI gaps (viewport sizing, navigation truncation, color contrast), marketing site copy, and social presence
  • Free tool, no account required; feedback-driven tuning ongoing

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.

Is this a good recommendation for you?
