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.

I enjoy recording these episodes as it lets me experiment and try things I wouldn't get to with client and other "real" work. Ping us if you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or what you would like to see on a future show.

SaturdayMP Show 100: PostCast Part 15 (LinkedIn Company Setup)

https://youtube.com/live/wMCDeNvKe_M

Our 100th episode! Not the episode we wanted as we forgot we needed to register with @linkedin to post messages as a company and then struggle to figure out how to handle multiple dialog forms in Fyne.

That said, a janky 100th episode fits with the theme of the SaturdayMP Show where we show our struggles and warts beside our successes.

Thank you to YouTube for letting me post these long videos for free. I know they make money of ads and other data, but it's still nice of them.

Thanks to Omar for joining me for the past couple months. I really enjoy having someone be banter with, ask questions, and suggest things I never would have thought of or tried, such as doing live streams.

A big THANK YOU to those mighty few that have watched the videos. I make these videos because they let me play and learn outside of a client work, but it makes me smile that others find them useful and/or entertaining.

SaturdayMP Show 93: PostCast (Part 12 - Start on Slack API)

https://youtu.be/FXUoAzcdtX4

In this episode Omar and myself start working on the Slack integration for PostCast. We start off by reviewing what we have learned about the Slack API so far. Then we come up with a plan of attack and start implementing the plan but don't get very far.

We struggle to remember how mocking works in Go and then run out of time as I needed to host the Weekly Dev Chat. I'm likely overthinking the mocking and am too used to other languages/technologiges where mocking is easier and more common.

SaturdayMP Show 91: PostCast (Part 11 - Saving LinkedIn Token)

https://youtu.be/vUVefXwB_VA

In this PostCast episode Omar and myself figure out how to save the LinkedIn API token. Previously we saved the LinkedIn API ClientID and ClientSecret, which we knew was incorrect, but we just wanted to get something working. Now we correctly save the token, which is what should be saved.

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

https://youtu.be/RjX6LpxeFm4

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
- how to connect our keyring logic to the Fyne GUI

Do you like or dislike the long live coding sessions? Should we try coding live instead of mostly live? Let us know in a constructive and polite manor.

SaturdayMP Show 87: Creating PostCast (Part 9 – Figuring Out Testing in Go)

https://youtu.be/ISXbVjTKN4c

In this episode Omar and myself figure out how to add tests in Go. We try the built-in Go testing framework but then settle on using Testify. Testify allows writing assertions like other testing frameworks we are used to. We also experiment with different ways to do mocking Go and try to figure out what the Go error object is.

SaturdayMP Show 86: Creating PostCast (Part 8 – Investigate Keyring Libraries)

https://youtu.be/PRRHTxUAo00

In this episode Omar Ashour and myself (Chris C.) investigate several Golang keyring libraries and try to get the keyring to work on my Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Spoiler: it was working all along, I was just too dumb to notice. Learned about Seahorse, a handy tool for viewing keychain entries.

We also discuses what the Windows Registry. Spoiler: it is just a big dumping ground of key-value pairs.

In Episode 191, Scott Piehler's topics include: Aussie Socceroos in Alameda. No Teslas for APD. City Council preview. Oakland-Alameda Access Project gets a little easier. Former Rear Commodore of the Ballena Bay Yacht Club charged. AFD, APD and Animal Control keep busy. Winter birds. And lots to do this Valentine’s Day Weekend. https://alamedapost.com/features/podcast/alameda-postcast-for-02-13-2026/

#alameda #news #postcast

In episode 84 of the SaturdayMP show, Omar and myself 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.
