> Hi, I'm running 29.4, but I don't think there were any recent changes in this area: I really appreciate the timers library, but I feel like one deficiency is that it doesn't make it easy to set up weekly reoccuring timers. In my use case, I need to send an automated e-mail once per week. But I can imagine other use cases, such as downloading online science data or managing log files.
What exactly is the difficulty you need to solve?
