Hi Guys, I've been developing minicron as part of my dissertation at university and I'm at the stage now where I need to get as much feedback as possible so I can evaluate the success of my project in general. I'd really appreciate any comments/feedback you have, be it on the code, documentation, idea in general or anything else you think is relevant. Thanks!

Thanks for doing this, looks great, perfect timing for me to move my node-cron jobs out of my node app so I can have some separation of concern.

edit - yes please on support for more db choices

Looks great! Testing it later :)

Could you write a bit more about the Hub/CLI architecture? is the CLI pushing the output data to a publicly available Hub?

Thanks! :)

Edit: Yeah, so the CLI sends data over HTTP(s) to whatever host you configure it to, that could be public or not. As I've said in https://github.com/jamesrwhite/minicron#security though until I add authentication to a bunch of places and review some other things I don't recommend exposing the hub to the public internet, it should be behind a firewall or only accessible over a VPN etc. Hopefully that clears it up a bit but let me know if not!
