Hartford & New Haven, CT, August 26, 2026 —
A new application named Divine has emerged, aiming to recapture the essence of the once-popular short-form video platform Vine. Divine is an independent venture, unaffiliated with Twitter (now X), the company that shut down Vine in 2017. The new app draws inspiration directly from Vine’s signature format of six-second looping videos.
Divine has reportedly imported approximately 170,000 archived videos from the original Vine platform. This move allows users to access and engage with content that was previously unavailable. The Divine app is now accessible for download in various app stores.
A key distinguishing feature of Divine, as stated by its creators, is its policy against the inclusion of AI-generated content. This stance positions the app as a platform focused on original human creativity, setting it apart from some other emerging video-sharing services.
The original Vine platform was known for its quirky and creative short videos, fostering a unique online community before its closure. The arrival of Divine suggests a potential revival of interest in this specific format of social media content.
