  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)
