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.

*PostCast is just a place holder name and might change. The goofy PostCast placeholder image was generated by ChatGPT and will likely change.

One fun thing I #MadeWithGlitch a few years ago was this physical site deployment button for my job.

I love the convenience of everything being accessible through a computer/phone, but it's still so satisfying to handle physical objects. Especially pressing buttons!

Over the last weekend, I spent some time building an experimental library that enables developers to use Slack's next-generation platform datastores in a much smarter way.
