# Movies-Diary First-Class Integration
|
||||
|
||||
Since thoughts and movies-diary are both owned projects, movies-diary can be treated as a first-class citizen with deep, structured integration rather than a generic ActivityPub instance.
|
||||
|
||||
## Core idea
|
||||
|
||||
Add a custom ActivityPub `@context` extension to movies-diary's AP notes that carries structured movie review data. Thoughts understands this extension and renders movie review posts as rich cards instead of plain text. Movies-diary actor profiles in thoughts get a dedicated "Movie Diary" layout.
|
||||

## Feature 1 — Custom AP Extension for Movie Reviews
|
||||
|
||||
### movies-diary side
|
||||
|
||||
Extend the AP Note with a `movies-diary` namespace in `@context`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"@context": [
|
||||
"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
|
||||
{
|
||||
"md": "https://movies.gabrielkaszewski.dev/ns#",
|
||||
"movieReview": "md:movieReview",
|
||||
"movieTitle": "md:movieTitle",
|
||||
"movieYear": "md:movieYear",
|
||||
"rating": "md:rating",
|
||||
"maxRating": "md:maxRating",
|
||||
"watchedAt": "md:watchedAt",
|
||||
"posterUrl": "md:posterUrl",
|
||||
"tmdbId": "md:tmdbId"
|
||||
}
|
||||
],
|
||||
"type": "Note",
|
||||
"movieReview": true,
|
||||
"movieTitle": "Eternals",
|
||||
"movieYear": 2021,
|
||||
"rating": 3,
|
||||
"maxRating": 5,
|
||||
"watchedAt": "2025-09-30",
|
||||
"posterUrl": "https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w300/...",
|
||||
"tmdbId": 524434,
|
||||
"content": "<p>⭐⭐⭐ Eternals (2021) Watched: Sep 30, 2025</p>"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `content` field keeps the plain-text fallback so the post still renders correctly in any standard AP client.
|
||||
|
||||
### thoughts side
|
||||
|
||||
When fetching remote notes in `fetch_outbox_page`, detect the extension fields and store the structured data alongside the note. This requires:
|
||||
|
||||
- A new `remote_note_meta` table (or a JSON column on `thoughts`) for: `movie_title`, `movie_year`, `rating`, `max_rating`, `watched_at`, `poster_url`, `tmdb_id`
|
||||
- A new domain model field or separate `MovieReviewMeta` struct
|
||||
- The thought card in the frontend checks for this metadata and renders a `MovieReviewCard` component instead of plain text
|
||||
|
||||
### `MovieReviewCard` component
|
||||
|
||||
Shows:
|
||||
- Movie poster (from `posterUrl`)
|
||||
- Title + year
|
||||
- Star rating (visual, not emoji)
|
||||
- Watched date
|
||||
- Optional review text (the `content` stripped of the auto-generated prefix)
|
||||
- Link to the movie on the user's movies-diary instance
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
## Feature 2 — Dedicated Movies-Diary Actor Profile
|
||||
|
||||
When viewing an actor profile from a movies-diary instance (detected by actor URL domain or a custom AP actor field), the profile page shows a "Movie Diary" layout instead of the generic remote actor profile.
|
||||
|
||||
### Detection
|
||||
|
||||
Add a custom field to movies-diary's AP `Person` object:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "Person",
|
||||
"md:softwareName": "movies-diary",
|
||||
"md:instanceUrl": "https://movies.gabrielkaszewski.dev"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Thoughts checks for `md:softwareName = "movies-diary"` and switches to the dedicated layout.
|
||||
|
||||
### Movie Diary profile layout
|
||||
|
||||
- **Header**: same avatar/banner/bio/follow button as the generic profile
|
||||
- **Stats bar**: Total reviews · Watchlist size · Avg rating
|
||||
- **Recent reviews grid**: Movie poster cards (not a feed of text posts) — each shows poster, title, year, rating, watched date
|
||||
- **Tabs**: Recent Reviews | Watchlist | Following (other movie diary users)
|
||||
- **Watchlist tab**: Shows movies marked as "want to watch" (requires a custom AP Collection type: `md:Watchlist`)
|
||||
|
||||
### API
|
||||
|
||||
The movies-diary instance exposes custom AP endpoints that thoughts can call (since it owns both):
|
||||
|
||||
- `GET /ap/users/{username}/watchlist` — returns AP OrderedCollection of watchlist items (with `md:` fields)
|
||||
- `GET /ap/users/{username}/reviews?page=1` — returns AP OrderedCollectionPage of reviews (rich notes)
|
||||
|
||||
Thoughts fetches these when rendering the movie diary profile, similar to how it fetches the outbox.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation order (when ready)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Define and document the `md:` namespace schema in movies-diary
|
||||
2. Emit `md:` fields on movies-diary AP notes and Person objects
|
||||
3. Extend thoughts `fetch_outbox_page` to parse and store `md:` fields
|
||||
4. Build `MovieReviewCard` frontend component
|
||||
5. Add detection logic for movies-diary actors
|
||||
6. Build the dedicated Movie Diary profile layout + watchlist/reviews tabs
|
||||
7. Implement the custom AP endpoints on movies-diary side
|
||||

|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- The `content` fallback in AP notes ensures movies-diary posts remain readable in Mastodon, Pleroma, and any other standard client — the extension is additive
|
||||
- The `md:` namespace URL should resolve to a JSON-LD context document for proper AP compliance
|
||||
- Authentication between thoughts and movies-diary can use the existing AP HTTP signatures, so no separate auth system is needed
|
||||
- TMDB poster URLs may require a TMDB API key on movies-diary's side; thoughts just stores and displays the URL
