Show HN: Schyntax – A friendlier-than-cron syntax for scheduled tasks

That's interesting. You mean essentially a transpiler either from cron->schyntax or schyntax->cron? The former seems more doable, since I think there are more schedules schyntax can represent which cron can't, though a subset could work in either direction. I've also considered a native utility https://github.com/schyntax/schyntax/issues/2 as an outright replacement for cron, which could benefit from a transpiler.

If there is interest in this, I'd definitely be open to discussing it more on github.

Second the above. Syntax is very user friendly. Unfortunately, it seems with C# that it is mostly a Windows solution. A cron preprocessor would allow it to be used in a lot more places.

It's not just about the person who creates the schedule. It's about anyone being able to understand, at a glance, what it means.
