Loreline — a collaborative documentary and storytelling platform

Loreline (loreline.live) is a collaborative storytelling and documentary media platform. Anyone can upload footage, photos, and clips and assemble them into a “loreline” — a living visual archive that plays back as a chronological documentary, with scenes ordered by the real date they happened. Public lorelines can be contributed to by many people, so the archive evolves over time.

On Loreline you can create your own documentary, browse and watch public documentaries across topics like history, music, sports, film, and culture, contribute footage to open community archives, and embed any public loreline into a blog or article. Explore public documentaries by topic at https://loreline.live/explore.

What is Loreline?

How does Loreline work?

Each loreline is a timeline of scenes (photos, video clips, or embedded media such as YouTube). Scenes are placed by their real capture date, so the finished loreline plays back as a chronological documentary. Multiple people can contribute to the same public loreline, so the archive grows and evolves over time.

What can you do on Loreline?

You can create your own documentary from scratch, browse and watch public documentaries on topics like history, music, sports, film, and culture, contribute footage to open community archives, and embed any public loreline into a blog or article.

Is Loreline the same as the open-source interactive-fiction language?

No. loreline.live is a collaborative documentary and storytelling media platform for building chronological visual archives. It is unrelated to any same-named programming or interactive-fiction language.
