Intro
The opening title sequence, so the player can offer a one-press skip straight into the episode.
Open skip-segment data
Skip the filler. Keep the data open.
The VortX Skip DB collects the timestamps that let a player jump past intros, recaps, end credits and next-episode previews. It is part of VortX, and the segments it gathers are published back to everyone as open data.

What it tracks
Four kinds of skippable moment.
Recap
The “previously on” catch-up that replays before serialized episodes.
Outro
The end credits, where Up Next and binge auto-play take over.
Preview
The next-episode teaser tacked on after the credits.
Open by design
The data belongs to everyone.
No lock-in, no gated backend. Every segment in the corpus is published in a single machine-readable file, free for anyone to mirror, audit or build on.
A daily open dump
The full open corpus is one regenerated snapshot at /dump. Each entry carries its content_key, segment type, start and end in milliseconds, vote weight and source tag, so you can reproduce or cross-check the whole set.
It is shared under the Open Database License (ODbL 1.0): use it, share it, and keep what you build on it open under the same terms.

This database stands on the shoulders of SkipDB, the open community skip database by OrigamiSpace. We seed our corpus from its open dump, mirror it daily, and publish ours back openly under the same share-alike terms, so contributions flow both ways.
SkipDB started this. We are proud to carry it forward and add to the commons rather than fence it off. Thank you, OrigamiSpace.
How the corpus grows
Mark a skip once. It helps everyone.
Contributions come straight from the VortX app's in-player skip editor. Drag the handles to mark an intro or outro, save, and the segment is on its way.
