Why would it need a visible UI component? Just put it in a cron job
- crooked-v 7y agoOrdinary people don't use cron jobs.
- barbellguy97 7y agoThis is not made for ordinary people I would say
- crooked-v 7y agoOrdinary people would absolutely use an app that lives in the menu bar/system tray, has a Safeway login page and a "run on startup" option, and once a day does magic stuff in the background that adds all the available online coupons.
- SamuelAdams 7y agoRight but now Safeway will update something that will cause this to break, and now people who use this super handy app will expect the maintainer to update it - even if it was just a one-off project that the original developer had no interest in maintaining. So now people will complain and your inbox is flooded with "please fix this" because people feel entitled when all you really wanted to do was just try some cool thing.
- patjenk 7y agoI suspect that's because of bad reviews. I give all crons 5 *'s.
