I was having a hard time finding delivery slots for groceries from Whole Foods on Amazon due to high coronavirus related demand. This situation was made even harder by Amazon randomizing the release of slots every day.
In order to help flatten the curve and not starve due to lack of groceries, I built this chrome extension for myself but I am putting this out here with hopes that it can potentially help out others trying to get groceries.
