I can’t unsee the testimonial with a picture of a guy posing with what looks like one of North Korea’s Kim statues.

#5I’ll give credit where it’s due, Dead Mans Snitch inspired us to build Cronitor, but I’m pretty sure this is in maintenance mode.
It’s a great proof of concept that something like this should exist that gives developers observability for their cron jobs and background tasks but they seemed to have stopped working on it, so we started in 2014 and have shipped about every week since.
Ultimately, we believe you can’t trust software you can’t see. Background jobs are like the cities underground - absolutely essential to survival and easy to forget about as you move around on the surface getting things done.

Their app was last released 5 months ago and the change log says they are working on adding new features.
I think maybe simple and working is sometimes Good Enough™ and you don’t need weekly updates to prove a project is still alive.

I’m just calling it how i see it. 5 months ago and before that? 4 years. That’s maintenance mode.
Besides, you are talking about the app, with this kind of saas, the app doesn’t really matter.
