Life is hell, but Vine is back. Today, Vine founder Dom Hofmann formally announced Byte, a new “video looping app“ set to launch in the spring of 2019. Hofmann’s been working on a Vine sequel since last November, but in May he said it was indefinitely delayed. Not anymore!

Vine was the only good app, and any attempts to replace it that weren’t just the original thing were deeply dumb. If this one gets delayed again, we riot.
