Dive in and Take a Byte With Vine’s New Successor

Co-creator of Vine, Don Hofmann, officially released a new app called Byte, which is expected to take over the mantel that Vine once had. 

Hofmann has been working on Byte since Vine officially shut down in 2016. Byte shares the same elements of Vine: videos are only six seconds long and users have the ability to connect with content creators. Since Byte is still in beta, there are many features that have yet to be implemented into the application.

dear friends,

today we’re bringing back 6-second looping videos and a new community for people who love them.

it’s called byte and it’s both familiar and new. we hope it’ll resonate with people who feel something’s been missing. https://t.co/g5qOIdM8qG

The engagement from Byte’s users is necessary for its success. Hofmann is taking the community approach by listening to all the feedback that’s reported, which is a good sign. This feedback is almost necessary for Byte to thrive in the video media market.

your feedback has helped us get here today. we’ve got a lot more in store and as we continue to build, we want to hear from more of you.

join our forum (https://t.co/ec1MKUZy0L) and let us know what you think. we truly read everything and we’re excited to create with you.
