Hey Product Hunt community! 👋 I’m the solo creator behind SteadyCron. By day, I’m a 37-year-old senior developer working in the IT department of a mid-sized company here in Germany. By night and weekend, I’m a passionate side-project coder. Like many of you, when the recent AI wave hit, I was a bit skeptical about the practical capabilities of AI coding assistants. Instead of just reading the hype, I wanted to find out for myself: What can a single senior developer actually achieve when leveraging AI tools to build a complete, production-grade SaaS application? The inspiration came when I accidentally stumbled across cron-jobs.org. I loved their core utility, but it sparked an itch—I realized I could build a highly modernized, robust version optimized for modern workflows. SteadyCron is the result of that experiment. My core goals with this project are straightforward: 1. Build a reliable infrastructure tool that developers genuinely find useful. 2. Push my boundaries on what it means to build, own, and maintain a complete ecosystem entirely by myself. 3. Understand the nuances of the business side (like global compliance via Paddle, secure onboarding with Google OAuth, and marketing). Under the hood, I’ve built the backend on a robust .NET 10 API, backed by PostgreSQL for ultra-precise scheduling state and execution logs. The front end is a split stack utilizing Next.js for the core application dashboard and Astro for a lightweight, blazing-fast landing page—all routed securely through Caddy web servers on Hetzner VMs. This is explicitly not a "fire and forget" side project. I’ve designed SteadyCron to be durable, and I intend to maintain, optimize, and support it for the long haul. Because this community is packed with brilliant builders, engineers, and indie hackers, I would love your brutal feedback on the product, the UI flow, or the feature set. I'll be here in the comments all day to talk about the stack, using AI for senior-level engineering, or background worker architecture. Thank you so much for your support, and happy scheduling! — Daniel

A cron tool that stays four nav items wide (Jobs/Activity/Alerts/Settings) is refreshingly focused. Ran a Lastest visual review post-login: https://app.lastest.cloud/r/5MwP...
