Weekly-archived history of Dutch driving-exam wait times

The Dutch driving-exam authority publishes wait times per location every week, but overwrites the previous week's data — so there was never a way to see the trend, or compare locations over time. I built a small pipeline that fetches the weekly publication, parses it, and keeps a permanent archive. Static site, ~50 location pages, updated automatically, runs at effectively zero cost. Also includes a free embeddable widget for driving schools.
One thing that would be really useful is a small alert option where driving students can drop in their email and pick a couple of locations, then get a heads up when wait times jump up or drop by more than a few weeks compared to the recent average. It would help people time their application without having to check the site every week themselves.
@sercanzrn2 Thanks Really like that idea, could see building a lightweight version of that — noted for the roadmap! :)
honestly the fact that you noticed CBR was silently wiping the data each week and just went ahead and built a permanent archive for it is such a quietly smart move. the embeddable widget for driving schools is a really thoughtful touch too.
@zehra1029646 Thanks! The widget was actually more effort than the main site to get right, glad it landed.
