Vine creator’s new Byte app debuts at No.1 on Apple’s App Store

Byte, a new video-sharing app released Friday, reboots the deprecated Vine video-sharing service. Byte app creator Dom Hofmann co-founded Vine in the summer of 2012 and sold to Twitter later that year. Twitter failed to find a way to properly monetize the service and discontinued it in 2016. Now, Hofmann’s Byte app has rocketed to the top of Apple’s U.S. App Store.
