The Byte app is now available to everyone, for both iOS and Android.
Byte is a social network based on short video clips, with comment features similar to Instagram, and a “rebyte” feature similar to retweets on Twitter.
Byte was founded by Dom Hofmann — one of the original creators of Vine — and is similar to Vine in many ways. (Vine was purchased by Twitter, which closed the near end of 2016.)
The Byte app includes a search/explore section that lets you explore content by category, such as animation, pets, fitness, music, comedy, travel, and experimental, as well as latest and most popular content.
The camera section lets you string together multiple short clips at once, recorded from either the front or back camera, and/or include sections of previously-recorded video. An onion-skinning feature helps you visually align the start of a new clip with the last frame of the last clip.
