What it does

Crono is a REST API for developers to programmatically schedule time-based jobs. Simply specify a trigger (e.g., crontab), a task (e.g., HTTP request), and you're done. It's also all web-based, so no need to install a library or set up clock processes.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client.
