Dom Hofmann, a co-founder of Vine, has officially launched Byte. The Byte app is a short-form video application for iOS and Android.
Byte app was equipped with standard social features, including feed, Explore page, notifications, and profiles. At present, this app lacks the remixability, augmented reality filters, transition effects, and other bonus features that can be seen in apps such as Tiktok.
When it comes to monetization, Dom Hofmann also announced that the company will soon introduce a pilot version of its partner program that will be used to pay creators.
very soon, we’ll introduce a pilot version of our partner program which we will use to pay creators. byte celebrates creativity and community, and compensating creators is one important way we can support both. stay tuned for more info.
