Overview
- Divine, which launched Wednesday, is downloadable on the App Store and Google Play with access expanding by waitlist and invite codes.
- The platform offers roughly 500,000 restored Vine clips drawn from Archive Team and Internet Archive backups.
- Early Twitter alum Evan Henshaw-Plath rebuilt the archive by decoding 40–50 GB binary files and recovering views, likes, and comments.
- The service runs on the decentralized Nostr protocol and is testing links to Bluesky’s AT Protocol with potential ActivityPub support.
- Funding comes from Jack Dorsey’s nonprofit and Other Stuff, the company operates as a public benefit corporation with no revenue yet, and several original Vine creators have returned.
