Overview
- Evan Henshaw-Plath, an early Twitter employee known as Rabble, is leading the project with support from Jack Dorsey’s nonprofit And Other Stuff.
- diVine restores Vine’s six-second looping format and uses Guardian Project tools to confirm videos originate from real devices.
- The team has brought back a large portion of the original archive, with reports ranging from about 10,000 to more than 100,000 recovered clips.
- The beta is live with limited access, with some reports indicating availability first to existing Nostr users.
- Former Vine creators can claim their old clips or request removals, while the platform positions itself against AI-heavy feeds as X explores its own archive restoration.
