byte - A new looping video app from the founder of Vine

I signed up yesterday and I noticed how similar it was to.. wait for it.. you know it.. TikTok. So my question is.. with TikTok doing its thing, how are you differentiating this in the future?

Not available in Ukraine :(

I've been on it for less than 2 minutes and I've already laughed out loud twice. This will waste all of my free time and rob me of my ability to do anything productive. 10/10.

I mean, the design is great but can someone explain me some positive differences in comparison to TikTok?

Oof, already addicting. I’m ready to break from IG, thanks for this! I’ve been traveling nomadically for 5+ years. This will be a fun way to show what weird and wild stuff is happening all over. @kesterson on byte

Question: what is the circle icon in top/middle when editing a video? I press it, seems to have a hit state, nothing happens.

I love that follower/following counts are not displayed publically.

It looks like people are making a lot of content outside of Byte. Any idea what tools they are using?

It's dope. I love that they removed spamming hashtags and content essentially has 1 category when you create it.

I miss Vine so much! so excited for this
