slack VS duf

Though I am thinking of converting my Python Bolt slackbot (very early in development anyway) over to using slack-go. Mainly wanted to rewrite some of it anyway and use socket-mode.

code looks to be BSD licensed from https://github.com/slack-go/slack/blob/5a6b1b08ff8fa911e85bd582de643f7f0df0f0fb/chat.go

I have created a Slack bot that acts on some slack events to create Jira tickets using Slack Go. It was a hobby project for me but it's being used for some teams on my company.

I have also tried to do this in Go, because I always would try to do something in Go given the opportinity, but the Go Slack API was using the outdated auth system, there was simply no documentation to follow at all. I see this in my second attempt at using Go, having no tools to use, or no instruction to follow. Oh well, maybe the next project...

We use this library github.com/slack-go/slack for the API calls and data model.

The Slack Go SDK is a community SDK and not officially maintained by Slack. This means it doesn't get the same care or attention in terms of documentation and code examples.

I am using Slack-Go (https://github.com/slack-go/slack) to create a modal to allow my users to enter some information.

Does the example in the repository for the Events API not useful? https://github.com/slack-go/slack/blob/master/examples/eventsapi/events.go

I came across the well-maintained slack-go library; I started coding my bot using the provided example. Everything worked fine; The code is producing the expected result. It is time to make another coffee and implements a few extra features.

Not sure these are really popular, but I cannot resist advertising a few utilities written in Go that I regularly use in my daily workflow:

- gdu: a NCDU clone, much faster on SSD mounts [1]

- duf: a `df` clone with a nicer interface [2]

- massren: a `vidir` clone (simpler to use but with fewer options) [3]

- gotop: a `top` clone [4]

- micro: a nice TUI editor [5]

Building this kind of tools in Go makes sense, as the executables are statically compiled and are thus easy to install on remote servers.

Somewhat related - `duf` is "a better `df` alternative":

I'm normally using duf but this looks pretty neat.

Otherwise the last option is to get the deb/appimage files from their official git repos or website, like for my use cases, MongoDB Compass (which was not officially maintained on flatpak) or duf (not available in Ubuntu repos)

duf

What cool CLI tools do you know, that are do something faster than regular commands, and do something useful? For example: https://github.com/muesli/duf.

duf - Disk Usage/Free Utility - a better 'df' alternative.
