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 (see releases for prebuilt binaries for common platforms).

Installation

% go install github.com/alexhowarth/go-njmvc-appointment@latest
