GrantSSH is simple usage-based pricing. First server and first 2 team members are free. After that it’s per server and per team member, with no plans or contracts. grantssh.com/pricing

Temporary SSH access should actually be temporary. Give someone access for the project, incident, or maintenance window, then let it expire without relying on calendar reminders. grantssh.com/features

We didn’t build GrantSSH because SSH is broken. SSH is great. The messy bit is access: adding/removing people, temporary access, old keys, and knowing who logged in. That’s what we wanted to solve without turning it into an enterprise project. grantssh.com/blog/building-grantssh

Building GrantSSH: Why We Made a Simple SSH Access Tool - GrantSSH
SSH access quietly becomes a mess as teams grow. Here is why we built GrantSSH - a simple way to manage keys and visibility without replacing SSH or taking over your infrastructure.

Pleased I've gone with a different colour scheme than my usual blue / green, for hosted.md The use of red as the primary colour feels like a breath of fresh air for me. #buildinpublic Got to thank @rickmills.uk for the inspiration.

In an effort to get the widget filesize on sayit.now as tiny as possible for your end users I've been tinkering and tweaking and think I've hit a winner now. Swapped out handlebars template rendering for lodash.template and dropped the filesize down by 65% 💪 #buildinpublic
