hey, y'all android users listen up. i wanna start a new project but im not sure if it's gonna be useful. essentially, i want to make a scripting language to program people's phone, so devs or android super users can make the most of their phone. users will be able to create, share, and schedule execution of the scripts all from the app. is it a good idea? is their something like it?

example of a use i personally would have: there is a set date for when the soccer league schedule for the youth league i play in is supposed to be released online. however, the set date is never met, and it is usually a few days late. in this case, i could make a script to request to the website with the schedule and see if the html changed from last time, and if so it would send me a notif saying "check for schedule" or something similar.
then, i could schedule it to run every five minutes, and i wouldnt have to check manually.

its essentially bash automation for your phone.

good idea?

    @JoshBent not exactly. different ui and different purpose, plus id make mine free and open source.

    @NotifierMan you pretty much got it, but it's more dev-friendly.

    @enen not like busybox. I'm going to make mine different.

    @AleCx04 similar, but i want to improve it.

    @calmyourtities everybody now told you that everything exists already in multiple variations and you each time said yours is better or different, so what do you need confirmation for? just do it, if its actually as useful and can outperform tasker, automate etc. in some own niche category.

    @JoshBent yeah, the only thing that would stop me is an *exact* copy
