Why I don't have a code signing certificate
This is a small scale personal project, which is free and makes no money (except for small donations to keep me supplied with tea). To get a code signing certificate for an individual I would first have to prove my identity to the certificate issuing agency, which would involve getting documents witnessed by a solicitor (which costs money). To buy the certificate is expensive too and would need to be renewed annually, so it is an ongoing cost rather than a one off cost. Despite this, the Windows algorithm also works on the number of downloads an app has had to deem whether it is 'safe' or not. Again, this being a small scale project, even with an expensive certificate I may still not get past the Windows Microsoft Defender Smartscreen if the app has only been downloaded a few times.
