A simple API/CLI for scheduling HTTP requests
Hi HN! This is something I've been tinkering on for the past couple months. It's basically just an API/CLI for scheduling delayed or recurring jobs as HTTP requests. I initially built it as a personal tool to save myself a bit of time on little side projects where I've needed scheduled/recurring alerts, but decided it could be a good opportunity to practice building out a nice landing page [0] and documentation [1]. And who knows, maybe someone else will find it useful ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The tool relies heavily on Elixir's Oban [2] library for managing jobs, and Mintlify [3] for…
In plain words
This tool provides an API and CLI for scheduling delayed or recurring HTTP requests, making it useful for developers building side projects that need scheduled alerts or automated tasks. Built with Elixir's Oban library for job management, it allows users to set up jobs programmatically rather than managing scheduling infrastructure separately. The product is designed for developers who want a straightforward way to handle time-based HTTP triggers without complexity.

Hi HN! This is something I've been tinkering on for the past couple months. It's basically just an API/CLI for scheduling delayed or recurring jobs as HTTP requests. I initially built it as a personal tool to save myself a bit of time on little side projects where I've needed scheduled/recurring alerts, but decided it could be a good opportunity to practice building out a nice landing page [0] and documentation [1]. And who knows, maybe someone else will find it useful ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The tool relies heavily on Elixir's Oban [2] library for managing jobs, and Mintlify [3] for documentation. I also shamelessly stole most of the frontend design from Resend [4] because I'm a fan of the aesthetic and thought it would be good for my design chops to use their design as a guide. I also discovered Radix [5] UI while working on this, which ended up being immensely helpful for moving quickly on the frontend. Anyways, I almost certainly spent a bit too much time on small UX details that are most likely utterly inconsequential, but it was a fun exercise in polish :) All feedback is welcome!
