Show HN: A simple API/CLI for scheduling HTTP requests
booper.devHi 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!

[5] https://www.radix-ui.com/ This 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! [0] cronyo: The missing cron CLI for AWS Cloudwatch and Lambda https://github.com/cronyo/cronyo Resend founder here. Super nice to see the work that you're doing. We need more scheduling tools for developers. Appreciate 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 :)
