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

    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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. SaturdayMP Show 81: Creating PostCast (Part 3 – Creating GitHub Action)

    youtu.be/X09Kiow2RsI

    In this episode we (myself and Omar Ashour) 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.

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

    youtu.be/UwfyyYPsOwo

    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.

  7. SaturdayMP Show 79: Creating PostCast (Part 1 – Setting up Go Environment)

    youtu.be/lMT_l2QjNFc

    Happy New Year everyone! In this video I start on the PostCast* app, and this video turned out to be an hour of getting Go and Fyne set up. I've never used Go before, so it was a learning curve but not too bad.

    Do you have any suggestions for improving my setup? If so, let me know. I'm sure I got something wrong and/or something could be improved.
