Show HN: I built a cron job scheduler

In many cases, paying for a service you could do yourself is more about having a throat to choke in case something goes wrong. I'm sure I could figure out cron/crontab if I took the time to learn about it but that's not my core skillset so paying $5/month is actually rather cheap for me (especially when the cost is passed along to a client who is less skilled at these things than I am).

Cron-job.org uses a similar interface and is much older than this project.

And if you don't wanna write crontab syntax, then there are other free alternatives like IFTTT

And what happens when this service you depend on gets shut down for whatever reason?

I get to bill the client for moving them to another service.
