    Thank you for adding more countries! Is there an API which can be exposed to the user? (For integrating into a personal TUI, no LLM funny business). I’ve looked into querying my local gov auction site, and it ended up being quite a pain and ultimately not successful.

    On a bit of a more serious note, would it be possible to add fallback js to support older devices?

    Thanks again

      Indeed, I recently added an API with a free tier (https://govauctions.app/developers) If the free cap is too low for you to get an understanding of what you can do with it, let me know.

      Let me look at adding fallback JS.

        Wonderful! I’ll check that out.

        For context regarding JS, this is what the site looks like on my phone (iOS 14): https://imgur.com/a/K0OGEma . While Reynard (browser) does make it work mostly, the sort by selection doesn’t - a minor complaint to an otherwise much better experience for accessing gov auctions.
