vore a simple, multi-tenant feed reader features: - rss and atom support - minimal, simple, reliable, fast - refresh your feeds automatically - display a chronological list of feed items - open source & free of charge forever (not the shitty open core kind of way) - j3s built it :3 anti-features: - no tags - no options - no javascript - no unread indicators or push notifs - no comments, upvotes, or ranks dev notes - vore should always trust websites as the source of authority this is why posts aren't saved to disk - there's no good way to uniquely identify them over time easily. a new website might show up & reuse the post urls, and i want to avoid all of the complexities that introduces by just fetching feeds at runtime & loading them live - that way we're SURE they're fresh and accurate. - do not natively display posts posts always look like shit away from their home websites. instead of doing any of that nonsense, vore just takes website snapshots via archive.is and presents them to the user. - saved entries will NEVER change/expire if a user uses the "save" feature, the data they were looking at must never be lost. therefore, we just copy whatever the active post state was from memory & also snapshot the website via archive.is & link to the snapshot. this way, there's always a cached version available to use. website may be saved multiple times, i don't care. TODO "this has been saved already" indicator - vore prefers raw URLs, we don't care about traditional RSS formats like OPML soon(tm): - non-active feeds will be retried at a much slower cadence (& remembered across restarts)
