Show HN: A simple API/CLI for scheduling HTTP requests
Hi HN!
This is something I've been tinkering on for the past couple months. It's basically just an API/CLI for scheduling delayed or recurring jobs as HTTP requests.
I initially built it as a personal tool to save myself a bit of time on little side projects where I've needed scheduled/recurring alerts, but decided it could be a good opportunity to practice building out a nice landing page [0] and documentation [1]. And who knows, maybe someone else will find it useful ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The tool relies heavily on Elixir's Oban [2] library for managing jobs, and Mintlify [3] for documentation. I also shamelessly stole most of the frontend design from Resend [4] because I'm a fan of the aesthetic and thought it would be good for my design chops to use their design as a guide. I also discovered Radix [5] UI while working on this, which ended up being immensely helpful for moving quickly on the frontend.
Anyways, I almost certainly spent a bit too much time on small UX details that are most likely utterly inconsequential, but it was a fun exercise in polish :)
All feedback is welcome!

- zenorocha 3y agoResend founder here. Super nice to see the work that you're doing. We need more scheduling tools for developers.
- areichert 3y agoAppreciate the kind words, and love what you guys are doing with Resend! I've been a happy user so far, excited to see what's next :)
- gingerlime 3y agoThis looks very sleek. I love it. I had a similar itch to scratch, but created something far less ergonomic[0] a while back. Princing info would be useful though, even if it’s free in Beta. Great job!
