👍 interested in this feature.

I don't really agree that this feature is in the spirit of a Flask-inspired web framework. There are a lot of examples here on GitHub of C schedulers that you can integrate with ease.

I think "run in the same thread" feature can be helpful for avoiding some multithreading problems. (like app.post(req, Work))
But if you need more sophiscated features, using a library for it is probably better.

@acron0 / @ipkn, are you aware of another C project which is intended for scheduled execution of threaded tasks that might be a good fit for me to patch into a fork of crow?

@trevstanhope For threaded (or not) tasks I've used C CSP2 but not sure about scheduling (don't do much C these days).

Depending on how complex your tasks are you might be able to get away an std::thread or an std::packaged_task combined with std::this_thread::sleep_until.
