SaturdayMP Show 102: PostCast (Part 15 – Slack Channel Selection)

In this episode Omar and I update PostCast so you can set the Slack channel instead of it being hardcoded. Progress at its finest.

We try out Figma for some design ideas, it goes OK. Then we try the design idea, find out we don’t like it and switch back to our original design. We also spend some more time figuring out how to do nested dialog calls in Fyne. It’s not intuitive, at least not to me.

SaturdayMP Show 89: PostCast (Part 10 – Integration Tests and Keyring Saving)

Omar is back! We really got into the zone and recorded our longest PostCast video yet. Might be the longest SaturdayMP Show video yet. We don’t edit out mistakes, so watch along as we learn in real time:

  • how to write integration tests in Go (build tags vs. -short flag)

  • how to create test setup/teardown in Go

  • that the go-keyring library has mocking built in so we can simplify our tests

SaturdayMP Show 85: Creating PostCast (Part 7 – Prompt for LinkedIn Credentials)

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.

SaturdayMP Show 84: Creating PostCast (Part 6 – Create Fyne Main Screen)

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.

SaturdayMP Show 80: Creating PostCast (Part 2 – Testing Fyne Packaging)

In this episode I’m joined by Omar, and we try cross-compiling and packaging our Fyne example app for Linux, Windows, and macOS. Spoiler alert: we get Linux and Windows working but fail because of a known bug with Fyne and macOS.
