Hunter's comment

For web developers, it takes times and hard work to build websites/ web app. However, with the increasing demand for websites' security, developers/companies have to pay hundreds of dollars to SSL/TLS certificates providers in order to be HTTPS secured.
Although this helps to build a better web environment, it increased the barriers and burden for junior developers to create their app.
Some founded a non-profit service which provides free SSL/TLS certificates for developers to enable HTTPS for webs. Great initiative.

Let’s Encrypt is a free, automated, and open Certificate Authority.

The cool parts about Let's Encrypt:

Free: Let anyone with a domain name obtain a trusted certificate at zero cost.
Automatic: Softwares on the server can securely and automatically to get a renewal with proper config.
Secure: It helps site operators properly secure their servers.
Transparent: All certificate data is publicly recorded for inspection.
Open: published as an open standard
