In this episode Omar and myself hook up the Post to LinkedIn button and prompt the user to enter the credentials for LinkedIn, and it all works. Not the best flow, but we are still in the proof of concept stage.
We also learn about Go structs and how you can attach methods to them so get something similar to an object in other languages.
*PostCast is just a place holder name and might change. The goofy PostCast placeholder image was generated by ChatGPT and will likely change.
[Read More]In episode 84 of the SaturdayMP show, Omar Ashour and myself (Chris C.) create a very basic main screen using Fyne to input the text to post and a button to create the LinkedIn post. That said, the GUI doesn’t do anything yet, except look nice-ish. Lots of reading the Fyne documentation and experimenting with Fyne.

[Read More]We get a Proof of Concept (PoC) in Go that completes the LinkedIn authorization. We end up figuring out the difference between a LinkedIn code and token. Get a code by entering your LinkedIn username and password, then use that code to get a token. We also spin up a local webserver to deal with the callback which is required to enter credentials and get the code.

[Read More]Turns out getting a LinkedIn API key is confusing, at least for us. Did you know you need an Organization Page on @LinkedIn to get a key? You can’t just get an API key for yourself. No actual coding in this video, just lots of reading the LinkedIn docs and getting some curl scripts to work. If you have any tips for using LinkedIn API, let us know in the comments.
[Read More]In this episode we create a GitHub action to build PostCast*. Actually, it was more of a test if we could get GitHub actions working for a Fyne project.
I like having a CI/CD created as soon as I create a new project, so I know I can do a release at anytime. It also prevents the problem of “it worked on my machine” during development but now fails to run in production after creating the CI/CD at the last minute.
