Very cool. I would've used this a lot in a past life. It's interesting how many different ways there are to manage cron jobs, too. I've seen:
Place 1: Cron jobs edited on the box via vim, and every night they're scraped and off there are diffs, they're committed. Kind of like reverse management. It was actually a pretty elegant solution for the environment it was in, where devs just could not be convinced to not just edit the crontab directly.
Place 2: no cron jobs, it's all either airflow tasks or a bespoke managed clustering cron-like thing.
Place 3: all k8s scheduled job pods, conceptually the same but somehow less enjoyable.
Honestly I liked the airflow version the best, python is just better than bash, and often cron jobs end up developing dependencies anyway. Plus Python lets you wire in many niceties.
Anyways, I really appreciate you created the post. It’s pretty amazing that a project from a self-taught developer like me, who started in 2024, got so much attention.

Thanks for sharing my project!
I am glad you guys like it.
Good you are here. I was surprised you hadn't posted it here yet.

But it is okay!
I really appreciate you sharing it as well
I searched for "cronboard" before making the submission, and still cannot open the link you sent :/
That’s weird!
I don’t know. Anyone else have tested the link?

Very weird indeed:/
Yeah I know. I do not understand why this happened, but whatever!
Thanks again! :)
Nice. Hyperland + multiple monitors + TUIs like this make my workflow quite futuristic.
Thanks a lot!
