During last lockdown in March, it became really hard to get grocery delivery slots online. And everything offline was, well, mostly shut.

The delivery slots would run out within 15 minutes of being open. So I hacked together a script that'd poll for delivery slots and notify me on whatsapp whenever there were slots.

This year I had to do the same for vaccine slots. In fact, getting a vaccine slot became a bit of a hackathon in India due to limited slots with multiple GitHub repos and hosted tools coming up to notify you of available slots.
