I wanted to learn Go and needed a small, fun project to get my hands dirty with the language and the process of building and distributing a CLI. I've built a similar tool in JavaScript before so I thought porting it would be a great learning exercise.

This was a dive into Go's basics for me, from package structure and CLI flag parsing to building binaries for different platforms (never did that on my JS projects).

I'm starting to understand why Go is so praised: it's standard library is huge compared with other languages. One thing that really impressed me was the idea (at some point of this journey) to develop a functionality by myself (where in the javascript original project I choose to use an external library), here with the opportunities that std lib was giving me I thought "why don't try to create the function by miself?" and it worked! In the Js version I used the nodejs "log-update", here I write a dedicated pkg.

I know it's a bit silly, but I could see it being used to add some fun to build scripts or idk highlight important log messages, or just make a colleague smile. It's easy to install if you have Go set up:

  go install github.com/fsgreco/go-bunny-sign/cmd/bunnysign@latest

Thanks for taking a look!
