#12This is incredible. While there is still a decent rate of false-positives or errors, it's such a nicer user interface than the powerful yet hard-to-read cron syntax. Any chance it could be made into a library/api?
A very good chance actually! Stay tuned

#13Really cool project, but I may have found a mistake. Typing "21st night september" returns “At 12:00 AM, on day 21 of the month, only in September”. And I would expect it to be maybe 9-11:59pm, not midnight that morning. But maybe 'night' is just not very well defined?
I would also interpret it as "I'm okay with any time between, say, 23:00 on Sunday 20th to 05:00 on Sunday 21st.

Yes, this would be a pretty amazing for biz people to type "every other day" or something and have the backend know what that means.

Ya, sadly there's a rolling "requests per minute" on my OpenAPI account.

#18It's erroring out on me but I wanted to try one of my stackoverflow questions from long ago that still gets frequent votes:
Every 15 minutes except at 3AM?
Stackoverflow responses say it can't be done in one line.
Re: Show HN: Convert English to Cron Expressions
#19Great, using "never" as prompt results in:
"At 12:00 AM, on day 31 of the month, only in February"

#20Cool tool, I'd use this.
"When the stock market closes and opens" - I think the stock market opens at 9:30 though, not 9.
