FAQ

Why?

I wanted to challenge myself to build something others and I could find useful in Go.

Why not DDClient?

DDClient works great and does exactly what it was meant to while also being a mature project. This program attempts to solve a similar problem that DDClient solves, except only for a specific case (Cloudflare), and this program doesn't include any cron or timing element so it needs to be setup separately.
