Hey Folks Recently we built a very handy tool at ScaleReal for people working with multiple cloud based crons (AWS Cloudwatch Cron, Unix Cron, GCP Crons). It basically helps you to test out your cron expressions for various cloud based crons. Check it out here https://www.cronsformer.com/ Let me know if you have any feedback

Looks great. Here are some points to consider. 1. Don't separate the word Cron from the Cronsformer word, because
former
on it's own feels a little weird. Or maybe it's just me. 2. The purpose of "test out your cron expressions for various cloud based crons" is not clear on the website. Also IMO
debug your cron expressions
makes more sense. 3. Is there any difference in the expressions based on Unix, Cloudwatch, GCP. If they all follow the same standard, then don't put that in the dropdown. Feel free to post here if something is not clear. And again, Good work on shipping this shipit 👏
One more point
Copy code
"Run every 26 minute starting from 39 minutes past hour 9:00 PM every month from March through September every 1st day of the week, Sunday through Saturday during the years 1998 to 2146"
Above text should be visible to the user without having to scroll down. Maybe reduce the real estate afforded to below table

Thanks @calm-grass-85557 1. I agree 2. Makes sense, I will add that 3. Yeah Unix Cron and AWS Cron has differences (that’s what motivated us to build this small tool) 4. Yup especially on mobile it’s taking a lot of space
