It's because it was issued by StartCom.

I use Firefox 53 and this certificate appears to be valid in my Browser (green lock), I wonder why...

Mozilla only distrusted the certificates issued after October 2016; theirs is from September.

(Creator here) ugh that's such a bummer. I didn't know that I don't see that in my browsers.

Anyone have a suggestion for a better cert I could get? Starcom was so nice and simple but seems like it's causing issues for users now that Mozilla and Google are going to distrust the cert.

https://letsencrypt.org/ - it works, and it's free!

Quick suggestion - the toggle in the bottom left screen switches between 'off' and 'on' but gives no visual indication about which one is currently selected (by clicking am I going to or from 'off')?

Yeah it should just be a switch or something. I agree.

Fixed!

Please note that the invalid cert is for blankslate.io, not kobble.io.

Kobble is hosted on Firebase.
