Https hurts users far away from the server

Most of the answers you're getting aren't all that big of deal for your site. You still might want https though.

You should think about https for sites like yours the way you think about vaccines. SSL everywhere makes everyone safer, even though it doesn't have a tremendous impact on your own site.

Also, shameless plug, if you want really easy SSL you can use our new startup: https://fly.io. I'm not sure what country you're in, but we have a bunch of servers all over to help make it fast. :)

But of nitpicking, but on mobile the balloon is cut off a bit at the top :)

Huh. Which device/browser? It's such a pretty balloon, I'd hate to lose a piece of it.

You can email me if you want to avoid cluttering HN: mrkurt at gmail.
