Building a home for your app — revisited in Go

This tutorial is about implementing an  App Home in Golang with the  slack-go library and  Slack’s Socket Mode. This guide was inspired by an article from  Slack’s documentation.An App Home is that space that appears under the App section in the conversation list with your app’s name. It is a fully customizable space to provide documentation and interaction with your app.

“Why Socket Mode?” you may ask.With Socket Mode, you don’t need a server with a publicly available IP address. In other words, your laptop, your Raspberry Pi, or a private server can host your bot. Socket Mode is perfect for small applications that you do not intend to distribute via the App Directory.
