Summary

  • add a server-side Micro.blog Bookshelves connector authenticated with a pasted app token
  • match books by title and author across Currently reading, Finished reading, Want to read, Library loans, and Library holds before creating a new record
  • reconcile partial progress to Currently reading and completion to Finished reading while preserving Loans and Holds
  • integrate Micro.blog with the existing connector queue, matching cache, account UI, and manual review flow
  • add the official Micro.blog icon and detailed app-token setup guidance
  • harden retries against stale events and transient bookshelf 404 responses

Sync behavior

  • 0% progress is ignored
  • progress above 0% and below 98% maps to Currently reading
  • progress at or above 98%, or an explicit finished event, maps to Finished reading
  • destination assignment happens before removing Want to read or the opposite managed shelf
  • Loans and Holds are used for matching but are never removed
  • automatic matching or creation requires both title and author metadata
  • stale queued events are discarded using the same canonical multi-device ordering as KOSync

Configuration

External connector credentials require TOKEN_ENC_KEY. Users can create a dedicated Micro.blog app token under Account → App tokens and paste it into the CrossPoint Sync account page. Tokens are encrypted at rest.

Verification

  • production Docker image builds successfully with Node 24
  • full Docker test suite passes: 171/171 tests across 17 files
  • exercised locally against a real Micro.blog account and Bookshelves data
  • read-only code review found no blocking, important, or minor issues in the final follow-up

Micro.blog Books API: https://microblog.dev/api/books/

Codex did most of the heavy lifting here.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a token-authenticated Micro.blog connector. It matches or creates books, reconciles reading shelves, integrates with queued synchronization, classifies failures, enforces secure credential linking, and adds setup documentation and tests.

Changes

Micro.blog connector

Layer / File(s) Summary
Connector contracts and lifecycle
src/connectors/types.ts, test/connector-lifecycle.test.ts
Adds event-aware matching, optional book creation and push filtering, and ConnectorOperationError policy flags.
Micro.blog matching and reconciliation
src/connectors/microblog.ts, test/microblog-helpers.ts, test/microblog.test.ts, docs/superpowers/...
Validates tokens, loads shelves, matches metadata, creates books, recovers IDs, and reconciles reading states.
Queue processing and connector registration
src/connectors/runner.ts, src/connectors/registry.ts, src/connectors/store.ts, test/microblog-integration.test.ts
Registers Micro.blog, skips acknowledged events, creates missing books, selects deterministic progress, and maps operation failures to queue states.
Secure credential linking
src/config.ts, src/app.ts, src/auth/middleware.ts, src/routes/v1/connectors.ts, test/connectors.test.ts
Adds proxy trust configuration and rejects credential submissions that do not use HTTPS, trusted proxy forwarding, or verified loopback access.
Web setup and documentation
src/routes/web.ts, README.md, test/web-microblog.test.ts
Adds Micro.blog service listings, token setup instructions, masked fields, icon serving, and configuration documentation.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 171e4

Device-link credentials may traverse insecure HTTP, and proxy deployments must prevent forged forwarding headers. Resolve or explicitly accept these security risks before merge.

192-199: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Use a Set for candidate deduplication.

loadInventoryForShelves does not impose a local limit on shelf items. For n unique books, the five shelf passes can make .some(...) perform O(n²) comparisons after the linear network loading and parsing. A large account can therefore add material per-event CPU latency. Track seen IDs in a Set while preserving shelf order.

♻️ Proposed refactor
   const candidates: ShelfBook[] = [];
+  const seen = new Set<string>();
   for (const shelfType of order) {
     for (const book of inventory) {
-      if (book.memberships.has(shelfType) && !candidates.some((candidate) => candidate.externalId === book.externalId)) {
-        candidates.push(book);
-      }
+      if (!book.memberships.has(shelfType) || seen.has(book.externalId)) continue;
+      seen.add(book.externalId);
+      candidates.push(book);
     }

Centralize the completion threshold as optional cleanup

destination and shouldPush currently use identical 0.98 comparisons, so no present threshold mismatch occurs. A future edit to only one literal can make shouldPush reject events that use a different destination rule. Define one constant for both comparisons.

159-159: 🎯 Functional Correctness

No change needed for percentage-only filtering.

microblogConnector.shouldPush rejects a finished event when latestPercentage(...) is below 0.98, and accepts it when the canonical percentage is at least 0.98. Progress routes update the canonical row before calling fanOutProgress, so the timestamp is not required for this destination check.

1-31: LGTM!

src/connectors/registry.ts (1)

16-16: 🎯 Functional Correctness

No ordering change is required.

The management test sorts connector IDs before comparison, and no alphabetical response-order contract exists in the inspected API documentation. The insertion order is therefore not a functional issue.

src/connectors/store.ts (1)

257-257: 🎯 Functional Correctness

Keep the existing tie-breaker.

latestPercentage uses the same ordering as the KOSync endpoint. The progress primary key makes device_id unique per user and document, so equal timestamps still produce a deterministic row.

Fixed and pushed commit 0fa4fd5 to PR #10.

  • Device-link begin and poll now reject insecure requests before external calls, parsing device codes, or storing credentials.
  • Added regression tests verifying no BookFusion calls or credential storage occur.
  • Kept proxy logic unchanged: TRUST_PROXY is server-controlled, defaults off, and forged headers are already tested.
  • Clarified that trusted proxies must overwrite client-supplied forwarding headers.

Sorry just now seeing this! I'll review this tonight. Any links for more context on this service?

https://micro.blog is a blogging service that includes a "microblog" timeline for social media. Its part of the fediverse and supports cross posting out to pretty much every other social service. One of the features is the bookshelves - by default there's 3 book shelves assigned to your blog - currently reading, want to read and finished reading. You can connect to libby and that then creates and maintains "holds" and "loans" bookshelves.

The goal for bookshelves is to make it easier to blog about books you've read I guess (and encourage more reading by setting annual goals).

There's a bit more at https://help.micro.blog/t/books-on-micro-blog/35 but I'm realizing there's not a lot of marketing around this ;)
