go-njmvc-appointment

README

Check for New Jersey MVC licence renewal appointments.

I need to snag an in person driving licence renewal appointment before my licence expires.

I wrote this, rather than spend all week reloading the appointment page, in the hope that an appointment opens up.

Maybe someone else will find this useful.
