Making it easier for everyone to get Let's Encrypt certs w/ Certbot
summary
Certbot team presents concrete fixes: user testing with personas (e.g. shared-hosting users and power admins) uncovers where people get stuck; results drive a redesigned landing flow that first detects whether Certbot is appropriate, clearer step-by-step instructions, a terminal output that shows a definitive success message, and default automatic redirect plus visible automatic renewal behavior. The rebuilt UX and packaging reduce confusion, cut forum help requests, and make HTTPS activation work for many more real-world setups.
