The project looks really cool! But...the fact that the website has a certificate error doesn't inspire much confidence. Especially since it's a security tool. :(

What certificate error? Neither https://openpgpjs.org nor the link here have a certificate error for me. Maybe you are being MITMed...
I got a certificate error as well. This site hasn't had its certification for 132 days. I thought the whole link was a super meta joke/test. It does look cool though. Thanks for posting.
I'm also getting it. The certificate for https://webpg.org/ expired October 29, 2017.
Aha, I misunderstood the original comment.
Expired certificate is probably the least egregious security error, especially for a homepage.

No data is lost or stolen. Customers won't like it, you may lose sales, etc, but your data security is fine.

It's a sign of either laziness, incompetence, or lost interest, and none of those things are good.
Not to say that an expired cert isn't bad of course :)
