Genuinely curious, how would you implement something like a cron web interface? Certainly it would require you to have a program execute a shell command upon some HTTP request. Granted this project focuses on displaying data but there are many, many serious web libraries that execute commands on the server depending on what the person is trying to do.

Think of all the libraries that are just abstraction layers to imagemagick or ffmpeg. Do you really think there no legitimite use case for executing commands via some web program?

I wonder if the newer ephemeral apps like Whisper etc... will ever catch on as much as Snapchat did. They're basically trying to be more like Facebook in terms of functionality but they've added optional ephemerality on everything you post.

True. But if you have lots of apps, it can be tedious to manage. Also, it seems better to abstract away the command to be able to quickly change tools when needed. And you won't get a fancy, readable list with alias :)

Totally forgot about that. Done!
