In plain words

Lore Machine is a platform for world builders to create and publish serialized multimedia stories called LORE, which combine text with advanced visualization technology. Creators can organize individual LOREs into interconnected worlds with consistent characters and narratives, then monetize by selling access to their worlds. The platform offers a free tier with limited scenes, plus paid subscription plans for creators wanting expanded features and capabilities to build immersive fictional universes.

From the sources

There's a new creator in town: The World Builder. Armed with the most advanced visualization technology known to man, World Builders conjure multimedia universes one serialized story at a time. But Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube weren't built to hold them. On Lore Machine, World Builders turn text into scrollable multimedia adventures called LORE, then serialize LOREs into a World with solid state characters, canon and narrative physics. Today, they can sell tickets to their World.

Lore Machine

Pricing, as stated on its site

Free tier, paid plans from $9/mo — Free tier with 30 LORE Scenes. Paid plans start at $9/month (Explorer), $19/month (Creator), and $49/month (Pro).

    I built Lore because I kept losing knowledge — curl commands, quick notes from standups, and that one thing I told myself I'd remember. It lives in the system tray, a global shortcut pops it up, you type naturally, and it stores or retrieves automatically. Everything runs locally via Ollama + LanceDB — no cloud, no API keys. It classifies your input (thought, question, todo, instruction) and uses a RAG pipeline to answer recall queries from your own stored context. It's free and open source under MIT license, and even though its in very early version me and my friends have been using it for…

    Hey HN, After hours of re-watching Brandon’s creative writing BYU lectures[1], we converted his ideas into a framework to rapidly iterate and build sci-fi fantasy worlds. The app is divided into 3 sections: - World: To create a unique magic system intertwined with distinct physical and cultural phenomena - Characters: To create character arcs and give them unique traits that evolve over time - Plot: To weave a series of events in this world following the character arc We are newbie devs, any suggestions on the app improvements and usability would be great! The idea is to capture the essence…

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
