TimeyTim - a web-based CRON, Dead Man's Switch and Monitoring service - https://timeytim.com

---

I've worked on a number of projects that needed some scheduling capabilities, like "Archive this object in 4 weeks", or "Make sure this process runs every 2 days."

Rather than rebuilding this logic, and for those who hate dealing with CRON syntax, I wanted to create a scheduling API.

My goals are to 1) make it useful, 2) make it easy for developers, and 3) keep it low-cost (using DynamoDB and Lambda).

You can set up schedules via the website, or programmatically using the API.

Feel free to poke around - it's close to launching but the back end is currently disabled.

If this service sounds useful, please add your email to be notified when it launches - https://timeytim.com.

(Thanks, and suggestions welcome!)
