I just finished building this service. Its a simple way to create/run cron jobs online.

Any feedback/feature requests are appreciated. Particularly from people who run cron jobs currently.

Thanks

"I just finished building this service. Its a simple way to create/run cron jobs online."

cron jobs to do what though. Will you be accessing my server to pull statistics? Scraping google for data? Setting a Nest thermostat? Ordering my more vitamins from Amazon?

Above the fold, front and center. "This is a simple service to run cron jobs online. A cron job can do x, y and Z."

Thanks so much for the feedback :) I do understand the lack of details above the fold... I will add more details and maybe have a few examples of what is possible.

From clicking the link, I don't actually understand what it does? There's a box with Google.com in it, and the getting started button wants me to sign up...

Maybe a bit more information to actually explain would be helpful.

Also, why 10080 for paid, not 10000? I don't know why, but it makes me feel uneasy.

Thanks so much for the feedback :) I see the confusion about what this actually is. I will improve the UI above the fold and show more details about the service. The 10080 is basically 7*1440(1440 count is a job which runs every minute) so pro account will allow you to run 7 tasks which run every minute. I can see why it can be confusing... Thanks once again for the feedback.
