This is something that is going to save a company I work for thousands annually. Extended Validation certificates for dozens of domains and subdomains. Now we just plug certbot into crontab and forget about it, forever!

Thank you for all the work you do. It is a great service you have given the world at large.

By the way, the Let's Encrypt certificates are Domain Validation (DV) certificates rather than EV. Hope that's still OK for your application!

We don't do any sort of major ecommerce and I have never drank the EV Kool-aid. It's the same encryption either way, just EV has an extra CA "stamp of approval". Considering how much I trust your average CA[1], i.e. not at all[2]...

You can still donate! Indeed I would encourage any commercial enterprise that makes savings this way to contribute something back at least.

Thanks for the suggestion -- people can donate to support Let's Encrypt at https://letsencrypt.org/donate/.
