thehodge··on Show HN: Little Warden, monitoring the tedious things about websites
Hey HN,

Little Warden is a tool that my wife and I have been building in our spare time.

We constantly see people who lose domains due to expiration or forget about an SSL certificate renewal so we started building some software for that then it expanded more and more and now it performs loads of the checks you tend to forget about once a site is launched.

LW monitors everything and once a day sends you an email with a summary.

thehodge··on Laser Razor suspended by Kickstarter
> The Skarp razor is powered by a small laser which cuts through hair for an incredibly close shave without irritating or damaging the skin.

I would read that as them seeing that the laser is cutting the skin but that could be easily be intentionally misleading marketing speak
