Cofounder Vine Finally Releases A Similar Video Application

If you are still mourning the loss of the Vine application, now you can have fun. There is a new application to fill in the blanks. Yep, co-founder of Vine, Dom Hofmann, finally launched Byte, a video application intended to be the successor to the Vine application.

As we all know, the video application with 6 seconds repetition (loop) has been turned off by Twitter in 2016. Since then, Hofmann has tried to make a follow-up application from Vine. However, the application is experiencing delays because it is funded with its own pocket.


"Today we are bringing back a 6 second looping video application and a new community for people who like it," Byte tweeted on Twitter. "This is called Byte and both are familiar and new. We hope it will resonate with people who feel something is missing."

Like Vine, the six second looping video feature is also displayed by Byte. It has a camera application that allows you to make stop-motion style video types that Vine has relied on in the past. In the Bytes application portal, you can see posts chosen by the editor yourself or explore various user submissions.

The company also said it plans to introduce a "partner program" that will allow influencers to be paid for their work. What is clear, Bytes needs a figure who is really popular if he hopes to find an audience in a world that is already dominated by Instagram and TikTok.
