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 90: Claude Code Plugin Marketplace

https://youtu.be/HehHEx3xKyA

Join me as I finish creating a Claude Plugin Marketplace and my first plugin that validates and fixes GitHub PR review feedback.

P.S. - The "Marketplace" logo was created using Claude. I usually use ChatGPT or Gemini as they create better images, in my opinion, but felt it appropriate to use Claude for this one.

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 88: Getting Started with Consulting

https://youtu.be/se-de4IBzRQ

No Omar this week, so I decided to answer a question I get frequently: How do I get started with consulting? Be aware that the advice is worth what you paid for it.

The feature image was generated using the free version of Google's Nano Banana. Took several prompts to get this image, which is not exactly what I wanted but close enough.

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 this episode Omar Ashour and myself (Chris C.) 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 83: Creating PostCast (Part 5 – Go PoC for LinkedIn API)

https://youtu.be/jvj9GxPCYSo

We, myelf and Omar, 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.
