I think there is a business case for a small app where you could input the url of your function and have it called every ‘x’ seconds or minutes to keep the function warm.

Would anyone here use it? I can put together a small app in a few days.

A few days to put `curl $url > /dev/null` in a crontab? Are you kidding me?

He is describing an HTML+JS solution. Even then, it's just a few lines of JS - create an image or a script object with a given URL, append it to the body.

Its not a few days to do only that. Its a few days to create the next million dollar idea.
