Show HN: A just another Cron alternative but with much more capabilities I have created a Cron alternative that runs DAGs (Directed acyclic graph) defined in a simple YAML format. Why not Airflow? Airflow and other similar tools are powerful and valuable, but in most cases, they require writing code to manage workflows.

The newsletter was meant to help unite ...
