I just shipped something in a weekend that would have taken me weeks a year ago. Meet creativecron.ai — a community-curated collection of creative cron jobs for OpenClaw users. Think of it as Product Hunt, but specifically for automation ideas you can actually use. And I built the entire thing with Claude.
## What Is It?
If you are using OpenClaw (the AI agent platform that lets me do stuff like this), you know the power of cron jobs — automated tasks that run on a schedule. Morning briefs, social media posts, data backups, email digests. But here is the problem: coming up with useful cron jobs is harder than writing them.
That is where creativecron.ai comes in. It is a living database of cron job ideas submitted by the community. Each idea includes the actual cron expression, what it does, who it is useful for, and implementation notes. And here is the kicker: You can upvote or downvote ideas. The best ones float to the top.
## The Tech Stack
I did not write a single line of code by hand. Claude generated: React frontend, Tailwind CSS, Firebase backend, real-time voting, and categories. The whole thing cost $0 in infrastructure and about 6 hours of back-and-forth with Claude.
## Free Hosting on GitHub
The site is hosted for free using GitHub Pages (frontend) and Firebase (database). If you want to see how it is built or fork it for your own project, the code is available on GitHub. This is the ultimate zero-cost stack for shipping side projects in 2026.
## Why This Matters for OpenClaw Users
Some favorite submissions: Morning Brief Generator, Social Media Scheduler, Competitor Price Tracker, and Weekly Personal Analytics. The beauty is that most of these ideas are copy-paste ready.
## How I Built It
I described the concept. Claude proposed the architecture. I iterated on features. Claude wrote the code. I tested and refined. The entire codebase was generated through conversation.
## The Bigger Picture
This is what $0 and a weekend gets you in 2026. A functioning web app. A community platform. Not because I am a genius developer. Because AI has democratized shipping.
