Description

By using adding cron format support for scheduling, it would greatly increase the flexibility of repeat intervals. This should be a fairly simple approach that already has go packages built to handle this use case would solve a large variety of scheduling situations and needs.

Which alternatives did you consider using instead?

Really unsure about this because cron is not very accessible to non-it people. And there is #2032 which will likely clash.

That's a fair assessment. RRULEs are more traditionally used for calendar apps. I personally find RRULE strings to be harder to write and understand how all the pieces work together, but that might just be me.

I'm always an advocate to give users a few familiar choices, hence why I was suggesting as an alternative method instead of replacing the existing standard methods (whether that's the current implementation or RRULEs).
