Vore: A new RSS feed reader
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- blakesterz 3y agoI love the idea of a "a minimal, no-bullshit web-based rss/atom feed reader." but... It's a little too minimal looking to know if I want to try it out. A screenshot or two would be helpful.

- fbdab103 3y agoProps to the name. I have idly been considering building my own RSS reader if for no other reason to have a Vore RSS.
- croutonwagon 3y agoI use miniflux. Quite like it. I wish there was an easy to to mark all articles older than x days as read. But otherwise it works well
- TylerE 3y agoReally don’t think you want to name it that. Urban dictionary it. VVVVNSFW
- kgwxd 3y agoI would assume it was named that knowing exactly what it means. I wouldn't call it VVVVNSFW.
- denkmoon 3y agoIf I google "Vore" what am I going to find
- COGlory 3y agoSexual content related to eating/consuming the body of the other participant
- komali2 3y agoActualized in fantasy usually in the medium of hentai. There's a bunch of people into vore on one of my discord servers and I haven't noticed them into the idea of actually being eaten themselves, or eating other people. It's not necessarily a cannibalism fetish. Usually it's tied into a monster porn fetish.
- uoaei 3y agoIt came up when Armie Hammer was "outed" as a "cannibal". If you read what was actually said, he basically has a vore fetish, though from the secondhand accounts alone it didn't seem like his "accusers" had the right context or vocabulary.
- syntaxfree 3y agoCannibalism
- ksherlock 3y agoI took one for the team: Pictures of pregnant women and pictures of furries. That's got to be one of the safest (as in SFW) fetishes in existence.

- zwerdlds 3y agoVore is just a latin root relating to eating. Vorarephilia is just one use of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vore https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vore
- AbsoluteDestiny 3y ago[flagged]
- TylerE 3y agoIn common speech it's never used alone, but only as, as you said, a root, e.g. carnivore, omnivore. Just vore alone I've only ever heard to mean exactly one thing, and it's the NSFW one.
- wanderingjew 3y agoGrowing up, on the playground, you said, "actually what you just said is a symbol of power of the Roman consuls, so I will take that as a compliment.", didn't you?
- Rebelgecko 3y agoPedo is Just a Greek prefix meaning child. And using it as a name for a project is an equally horrible idea.
- loa_in_ 3y agoMy pedometer says otherwise
- Rebelgecko 3y agoDifferent root word (pedi- means foot by way of Latin, and shouldn't be confused with Latin words like pedicare [provocative/aggressive verb meaning 'to buttfuck' (usually bowdlerized as something like 'to bugger')] which are also derived from the Greek pedo-)
- madeofpalk 3y agoI certainly was shocked to see Vore on the HN front page…
- waboremo 3y agoI was not, Vore seems like exactly what HN would be into!
- waboremo 3y ago(Capitalization matters folks)
- ReactiveJelly 3y agoHeck, companies vore each other all the time
- puppable 3y agojudging from their webpage this person knows exactly what they are doing and is enjoying every single bit of it. props.

- chillbill 3y agoWhy the hell is it wonderful or should be cherished and lauded? I say on the contrary, this sounds like some hedonistic bs and it’s shameful and should rejected on the basis that pleasure is not everything and considering it as such has been refuted many times. Look up Experience machine by Robert Nozick.
- mock-possum 3y agoYou’re literally kink-shaming here, so come on, follow through - tell us in your own words what you find ‘shameful’ about vore.
- chillbill 3y agoSome kinks should absolutely be shamed and rejected. When talking about sexuality, people seem to stop at consent as if it’s the only important aspect, where in fact consent is only the start. It’s the most basic of requirements and there’s a lot discussion to be had after establishing that most basic of rules. For now, I don’t care about what people do themselves or in their own home and such, but don’t rub it in other people’s face. If you’re saying that it should be public and it’s all good, we’re on very different levels and there is no actual middle grounds here.

- bsnnkv 3y agoLove the text-first aesthetic of this reader. I would have liked to have used this, but I've come to the conclusion that the data model for bookmarking and sharing (all metadata being tightly coupled to the URL) doesn't really work in the age of highlights and comments. Taking a look at the sample page[1], there is no way I'm going to click through any of these without a reason. I've been using a "content-first" data model both for knowledge management and my own RSS feeds[2] for the last few years that I'm very happy with. I think this might just be the kick in the butt that gets me to finally write an article about it. [1]: https://vore.website/j3s https://vore.website/j3s [2]: https://lgug2z.com/ https://lgug2z.com/ - scroll down to "recent highlights" for an idea of what this looks like
- j3s 3y ago> I've come to the conclusion that the data model for bookmarking and sharing (all metadata being tightly coupled to the URL) doesn't really work in the age of highlights and comments could you elaborate on this a bit? it sounds like an interesting idea but i’m afraid i couldn’t grasp it
- bsnnkv 3y agoI'm gonna paste below what I managed to churn out the last time I tried writing an article about this, and then add some fresh commentary after the pasted section: --- The bookmark itself is tied to a URL, and anything else related to the bookmark, such as the title, the scraped content (if the service scrapes on your behalf), highlights and annotations are stored as additional metadata linked to that URL. There are some unfortunate restrictions that come with this data model. Let's take the example of comments. Comments by their nature are distributed; the same article can be shared on any number of websites for any number of different users and communities to discuss. Especially in the case of tightly focused communities, the commentary on an article is often just as valuable as the article itself. When the data model is anchored around the URL, highlights become tightly coupled to that URL, and this tight coupling ignores the distributed reality of comments, leaving them with no real place to exist in the data model. Ideally, highlights made on an article and comments saved about an article should be easy to connect and view together, because it is the article itself, and not the URL, that is the common denominator (the URL is an imperfect proxy for the article). What if there is nothing of value in the article itself to highlight, but the discussion of the article contains the real information of value that you want to save? This is often the case when a commenter debunks bogus claims published in an article shared on link aggregation websites while simultaneously explaining their method. If you think about this for long enough, you may also come to the conclusion that I have, that saving comments is also a form of highlighting, and both comments and highlights can be described in a common data model as "content". --- Now this is definitely a bit more on the "knowledge management" side of things, but I think that people who curate digital gardens of knowledge are in a unique position to be curators of focused streams of knowledge in a post-firehouse digital world, and that this can take the form of RSS feeds. Think of "firehoses" like RSS feeds of websites that throw any and everything at you, RSS feeds of subreddits, the HN front page etc. They are all impersonal, without context, and without any reason or explanation of _why_ you should spend your time consuming an item. Our time is increasingly the most valuable thing that we have, and so if I am recommending that someone read something, I want to provide the reason why I think they should read it up-front (ie. one or more highlights or analytical comments in the body of the RSS item); if that clicks with the subscriber, they can go on to click through to the source and spend more time on it. But just a title (which is unfortunately likely to just be clickbait these days) with no item body? Or with a huge wall of text? (I'm honestly not sure which is less respectful of an individual's time) - I can't consume from feeds like that anymore. And for that reason, I also refuse to produce feeds like that anymore.
- dregally 3y agoI hope it can support importing via xml file.
- breput 3y agoIronically, https://git.j3s.sh/vore https://git.j3s.sh/vore doesn't have an RSS feed of the updates. https://git.j3s.sh/vore/log/main https://git.j3s.sh/vore/log/main would be a perfect use for it, but no.
- j3s 3y agofor those interested, the git server i'm using is legit by icyphox: https://github.com/icyphox/legit https://github.com/icyphox/legit i talk with icyphox sometimes & he's great. i'll bring this up & see if there's interest!!
- talles 3y agoIs anyone still using feeds out there? Don't get me wrong, I've loved to follow blogs through a feed reader (way better than a freaking email newsletter), but I pretty much stopped because a lot of the stuff I was reading started dropping support for it.
- xyzsparetimexyz 3y agoI am, using rss-bridge (https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge) to access feeds on other services (mostly twitter).
- jsbisviewtiful 3y agoI mainly used RSS feeds at this point. The Reddit community has become pretty toxic so decided to move away from it and just follow websites I like and trust via RSS.
- hammyhavoc 3y agoDepends on the sub. Some are definitely toxic cesspools, others are very friendly and cool. I've tried to quit Reddit several times, but unfortunately there's some good conversation and important troubleshooting that happens there of all places. I think it'd be nice if certain subs could disable the karma system as they degenerate into posting pictures of what arrived in the mail today instead of discussing anything meaningful.
- Semaphor 3y ago> Depends on the sub. It depends on the size, and your opinions. I don’t like movies and enjoyed the Wheel of Time TV show, people like me are not wanted in /r/fantasy. But it is a big subreddit (3 million), and that just comes with toxicity. I’d say anything with over 100k subs (probably even less) will have toxicity, it’s just that it tends to stay hidden until someone says the wrong thing (/r/selfhosted with 250k had some crazy drama a while ago).

- clircle 3y agoI learned the hard way that if you aren’t hosting or paying someone else to host your rss, you can’t count on it for long.
- j3s 3y agothe good news is that vore is open source & self hosting is trivial - and the config is a list of urls - moving them to a new system would be trivial too.
- stanislavb 3y agoFor those interested in new(opinionated) RSS readers, I'd like to know what you guys think about https://lenns.io/ https://lenns.io/?
- WhereIsTheTruth 3y agowhat i really want is something like that but with a way to tag certain articles with a way to automatically backup the article, so it is easier to cross-reference links when you need to find/share a specific information it's on my todo list of things to build
- 0x445442 3y agoYou know what makes a damn good reader? Gmail. Setup a script that parses RSSAtom feeds and then email the URLs to a Gmail account. Add the title of the post as the subject and add hashtags after the URL in the body. Then you can use GMail’s search to search on hash tags. Also, your script can add other metadata to the email which can be used to apply Gmail labels. If you’re really ambitious the script can use the readability library and email html content so that you never need to leave Gmail to read feeds.
- PurpleRamen 3y agoAs far as I know Gmail, it lacks significant basic features of a good feed-reader. Like a button to mark all unread items as read, a function to automatically move to the next category/folder/filter with unread messages. Sure, I could do this manually, but that would be slower, more complicated and thus defeat the purpose of using a dedicated app for this job. And this leaves all the more advanced features, like sharing, different optimized views, all those little details which make a specialized app superior to a specialized app from another domain. Personally, I would love for Gmail (or some other mail-app) to be customizable enough to serve as a feed-reader AND mail-reader, and any other job we can fit into it. But somehow people are very focused on making apps only for single domains, and don't leak them to others.
- 0x445442 3y agoGmail allows you to mark an email as read.
- 0x445442 3y agoGmail allows you to mark an email as read.
- PurpleRamen 3y agoNot with one button. You must select the mails first, then you can mark them.
- chillbill 3y agoInteresting project, but not my cup of tea. Aside from that, very weird name. Kind of annoying actually and sort of ruins the whole thing anyway.
- gandalfgreybeer 3y ago> Aside from that, very weird name. Kind of annoying actually and sort of ruins the whole thing anyway. Can you elaborate on this? This seems like a very extreme reaction. The website shows > vore (noun combining form) > ˌvō(ə)r, ˌvȯ(ə)r, ˌvōə, ˌvȯ(ə) > : one that eats (something specified) which seems like something appropriate for an RSS reader if I connect enough nodes of ideas.
- proto_lambda 3y agoIt is commonly used as a short form of vorophilia, i.e. sexual pleasure from (the idea of) being eaten/eating somebody, usually only in a fantasy rather than realistic context from what I gather.
- fabianmg 3y agoIf someone goes to that meaning instead of the simple one "to eat", as in carnivore, herbivore it seams that maybe someone has bigger problems that disliking a RSS reader for the name.
- AlecSchueler 3y agoWell, many people do have those bigger problems, shouldn't we consider them?

- robobro 3y agoI follow too many feeds. Getting all incoming posts in a single place is basically worthless for me. Maybe this is a good solution for someone who only follows a few blogs. You need to add categorization/tags and OPML if you want this to gain traction. Looks okay, very little bloat, way too simple for me though. I'm interested in seeing where this goes in a few months.
- thraxil 3y agoFWIW, I subscribe to over 500 feeds and use a tool similar to this to read them. I average several thousand entries per day. Having them all in one combined UI that's lightning fast and entirely based on keyboard input (vi-style 'j', and 'k' to move through them) lets me fly through hundreds of entries at a time in just minutes. I've been using this since Google Reader shut down, experimented with a bunch of different approaches and by far, for me, having everything in one single stream and not having to navigate any kind of categorization is the most efficient way to follow as many feeds as I do.
- soco 3y agoOnly halfway joking, I am (pleasantly) surprised to know there are 500 RSS feeds left in the world. I thought the format was on the way out, and I miss it.
- jen729w 3y agoI just spent a week almost-pointlessly rebuilding my site with the sole goal of supporting full-content RSS. I already had a feed, to be clear. Just not full content. Long live RSS.
- tourmalinetaco 3y agoLots of X-to-RSS has popped up in recent years, and a good portion of websites still support it under the hood. KilltheNewsletter[0] is a great email-to-RSS generator, for instance. And RSSBridge[1] has all sorts of x-to-RSS bridges available. There’s even a website[2] that allows you to turn public Telegram channels into RSS feeds.

- gregjw 3y agoInteresting name
- ChrisRR 3y agoI almost don't want to know why they chose that name. There's certain corners of the internet that I won't risk going near.
- trescenzi 3y agoI had the same initial reaction. But after multiple comments saying how good of a name it was I googled it and realized they were going with "vore" as like a suffix(carnivore, omnivore). So this is an RSSvore i.e. it consumes RSS feeds. Always interesting to see how differently names can come off based upon people's assumptions/first instincts.
- voidz7 3y agoi love it
- ulrischa 3y agoRSS would need some kind of social framework around. Then it could have the power to beat Twitter.
- t0bia_s 3y agoPlease, add support for import OPML/xml file.
- janandonly 3y agoI wrote a short piece on how to export an OPML (from NetNewsWire) and import it into Vore. The link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35949269 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35949269
- butz 3y agoI wonder how possible would it be to build RSS reader running on GitHub actions - commit for feed update, commit for marking as read?
- olivertaylor 3y agoLike this? https://github.com/jamesroutley/news.routley.io https://github.com/jamesroutley/news.routley.io
- butz 3y agoClose enough. Thank you.
- avinassh 3y agohey, I like this. Lean and clean. I would want only one feature, to mark an article as read / unread. Also, may be an option to hide the read ones.
- j3s 3y agogotcha - i'll think about this. for me, the links turning purple has been a good enough "read" indicator - but a shared one for when you're cross-device has been on my mind!!
