This would be awesome to have. Maybe when running on the web use something like web workers

Any change of plans?

No, plans this is not the purpose of this package.

The package is for ensuring that some tasks runs periodically in a cloud environment. Where and how that task runs is not something this package cares about. There is absolutely no reason you can't trigger the task to run in a background isolate, and no reason you couldn't write a package that runs a function in a background isolate when called. Then you could trigger this using this package.

This package is about scheduling reliably.
