Wow, thank you so much for the great feedback. I appreciate it.

Some of the things you mentioned is on my roadmap but some are new to me. I love the idea of cron visualization.

Thanks for making it :)

thakobyanon Ask HN: How to find profitable side project idea?

I was in a similar situation as you except I have a full-time job. I started https://cronhub.io a year ago and it's currently a profitable side-business.

You don't need to focus on the idea too much. I think it's important but seeing other companies solving the same problem should not discourage you to come up with your own solution.

Take a look at these products for inspiration (https://www.indiehackers.com/products) and some of them solve a similar problem but they still co-exist.
