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.

[Read More]We 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.

[Read More]Turns out getting a LinkedIn API key is confusing, at least for us. Did you know you need an Organization Page on @LinkedIn to get a key? You can’t just get an API key for yourself.

[Read More]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.

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.
