Many HNers are understandably bashing this for privacy concerns. However, csr.io addresses a real problem, that generating CSR's is a pain in the neck.

Let me be the first to offer a positive suggestion: csr.io should keep doing exactly the same thing, but on the "results" page where it shows the key and CSR now, also generate and show the equivalent OpenSSL commands for someone to generate a key on their own machine. These commands should be able to be blindly copy/pasted into any Mac/Linux command prompt where OpenSSL is installed.
