Loreline (loreline.live) is a collaborative story platform where anyone can upload footage, photos, and clips and assemble them into a "loreline", a living visual story that plays back in chronological order, with scenes ordered by the real date they happened.

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 story. Multiple people can contribute to the same public loreline, so the story grows and evolves over time.

What can you do on Loreline?

You can create your own story from scratch, browse and watch public lorelines on topics like history, music, sports, film, and culture, contribute footage to open community stories, 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 story platform for building chronological visual stories. It is unrelated to any same-named programming or interactive-fiction language.

BodybuildingA sport that began as music-hall entertainment and became an argument about what a body is for. Eugen Sandow turned strongman lifting into muscle display in the 1890s and sold the look as health; Bernarr Macfadden sold it as a moral cause; Charles Atlas sold it by post. Meanwhile India had akhara wrestlers and Iran the zurkhaneh, strength traditions far older than any of it, and Monotosh Roy and Manohar Aich were winning Mr Universe titles in London in the early 1950s. Women built their own sport from November 1977 and had it absorbed, then spent forty years being told by rule changes to be smaller. Anabolic steroids arrived from a Swiss laboratory in 1955 and the sport has never resolved what to say about them, which is why this archive covers the autopsies as carefully as the trophies. It runs from Victorian physical culture to the 2026 Olympia, and about half of it is not American.
CyclingThe whole history of cycling, the machine and the sport. From Karl von Drais rolling out the first running machine in 1817 and the penny-farthing and safety-bicycle booms, to a century of the Tour de France, the Giro and the Vuelta; the cobbled Monuments and the rainbow jersey; the legends from Coppi and Merckx to Pantani and Pogačar; the giant mountains, the doping reckonings, the rise of women’s racing, the banked boards of the velodrome, and the birth of mountain biking, BMX and cyclocross off the road.
World CupA thematic archive of the FIFA World Cup, not by tournament but by what makes it unforgettable: the wonder goals, the Hands of God and the scandals, the heartbreaks, the shock upsets, the coronations, the celebrations that stopped nations, the villains and red cards, the magicians who bent the game, the supporters who became the story, and the ads that sold the dream. Every scene keeps its real date, so the clock still time-travels from 1930 to today.
Arran StrongArran Strong was a professional surfer from Ericeira, Spanish-born, British, taught to surf by his mother, diagnosed with Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency at three and open about it for the rest of his life. He surfed for Surfing England as a junior and Great Britain at the 2024 and 2025 ISA World Championships, coached, and made the Strong4Cast interview series. He was lost at sea off Portugal in August 2026. This is his own record of it: 967 Instagram posts from September 2013 to July 2026, his TikToks, and his own films, his words, in his order.
PadelIn 1969 Enrique Corcuera walled in a corner of his garden in Acapulco because he had no room for a tennis court, and his wife Viviana wrote the rules as a birthday present. Fifty-odd years later it is the fastest-growing racquet sport on earth. This is padel’s boom, the Premier Padel circuit, the world championships, the players and the shots the glass walls make possible, with what can honestly be shown of where it came from.
Formula OneThe whole story of F1, from Fangio and the front-engined giants of 1950 to Verstappen and Norris in the hybrid age. The champions, the great rivalries, the tragedies that forced the sport to grow up, the iconic circuits, the legendary teams, and the machines that kept reinventing speed.
RALLY DAKARThe whole story of the world’s toughest race, from Thierry Sabine getting lost in the Ténéré and launching the first Paris-Dakar across the Sahara in 1978, through the golden age of the African desert years and Sabine’s death by helicopter in 1986, to the decade in South America across the Andes and the dunes of Peru, and the modern era in the Empty Quarter of Saudi Arabia. The bikes, the cars, the flying trucks; the legends from Cyril Neveu and Ari Vatanen to “Mr Dakar” Stéphane Peterhansel and Carlos Sainz; and the danger that has always shadowed it.
KRC GenkThe story of Racing Genk, born from the 1988 merger of Waterschei Thor and Winterslag, four-time Belgian champions, the academy that produced De Bruyne, Courtois and Koulibaly, and the blue-white nights of Limburg.
FootballAssociation football from the 1863 Laws of the Game to the present, the clubs and players, the tactics that keep being reinvented, terrace culture, the disasters that forced reform, and the money that reshaped all of it. Every scene verified to play embedded.
Le Mans 24 HoursEvery overall winning car at the 24 Heures du Mans, 1923 → present. 90 races across 7 eras, Pioneers, Postwar, Ford vs Ferrari, Matra & Mirage, Group C, LMP1 Renaissance, Hybrid Era.
MotoGPThe whole story of Grand Prix motorcycle racing, from the two-stroke 500cc golden age of Agostini, King Kenny Roberts and Barry Sheene, through the Rainey–Schwantz–Doohan wars and the birth of four-stroke MotoGP in 2002, to the reign of Valentino Rossi, the genius of Marc Márquez and today’s Ducati era. The champions and their rivalries, the screaming machines, the iconic circuits from the Isle of Man to Laguna Seca’s Corkscrew, the tragedies that forced the sport to grow up, and the culture and passion that make it the greatest show on two wheels.
XaviThe midfielder who taught a generation how to keep the ball. Xavi Hernández joined La Masia at eleven, made his Barcelona debut in 1998 and left seventeen years later as captain, lifting the European Cup in Berlin in his 767th and final appearance. In between: the pivot of Guardiola's Barcelona, Player of the Tournament at Euro 2008, the passing metronome of the Spain side that won a World Cup and two European Championships, and the first player to assist in two European Championship finals. Then Al Sadd, and a return to the Camp Nou bench as manager to win LaLiga in 2023. Told through the matches themselves, Paris, Rome, Wembley, Berlin, Johannesburg, Kyiv, the archive footage, and the Catalan and Spanish press who watched it happen.
Borussia DortmundThe club the Ruhr built. Founded above a pub on 19 December 1909 by young men who broke away from a church team, Borussia Dortmund became the first German side to win a European trophy, went bankrupt in all but name twice, and turned a standing terrace into the loudest twenty-five thousand seats in football. Told through the surviving newsreels of the 1956 and 1963 championships, the full film of the 1966 Cup Winners' Cup final at Hampden Park, Riedle and Ricken in Munich in 1997, the Klopp years, the Yellow Wall in full voice, the Revierderby, and the days the club would rather forget.
