Does the world need *another* video app, tho? Serious question.
Bryna Corcoran
@ekambos I'm also bitter that there is no Android support. But even still, can't help but roll my eyes at the idea of another live stream/video/snapchatty thing. There is a reason Vine died on the Vine. That said, you can't knock the Vine team for trying and experimenting with something new. I'll keep an eye on this and see what comes of it, perhaps I'll be proven wrong.

@brynatweets @ekambos Android support will soon follow
Alain Ekambi
@brynatweets Maybe they found something we dont see yet. I will give it a try and see.
Bryna Corcoran
@ekambos Exactly. I'm always up for giving it a try and I know this stuff takes A LOT of work to get to market, so that's the least we can do is give it a spin and hope it kills it.

Hey guys! We do have a beta wall up right now. I've added the code "producthunt". Please let us know what you think

*No need to use the code anymore.

So. . . Periscope?

@cleggskie You mean Meerkat? I'm not trying to just be snarky... what _is_ new/different about this from Meerkat, Periscope, Blab, FireChat, FB Live... Looking forward to checking it out, but really what's really new/killer here.

So, news of Vine shutting comes and founder @rus tweets this and then RT'd this 👇

@rus @ckb would love to hear the story behind this!

Why doesn't the valley learn its lesson, if Vine died, how is this useful at all?
Jffry Vsk
@kenan_ali Is music useful? Is art useful? I think this is an entertainment app. It's quite fun.

Awesome! I haven't used live video services (FB, Meerkat, Periscope) yet. Can you tell me the difference between Hype and some of the current services? Good luck & thanks!

Looks like you'll need a beta invite code to try this out... you might be able to guess it. Kind of like Snap meets Periscope meets internet memes??
Michael Farrell
Hype is great, happy to see this here.
John Edgar
Nice, I see @rus flying around Manhattan on his booster board all the time, wondered what he was up to, now I know! Looks awesome. (The audio doesn't seem to work with my bluetooth headphones)

I smell trace of Byte in the product. Feels like hybrid/interactive version of livestreaming. Excited to play with it, and cheers to the team.
David Feng
Looks interesting. Would love to give this a try. The last time I used Vine/Periscope was to track hurricane Darby. Great job and congrats on the launch! @ckb
Kevin Henry
This is so weird, but I kind of love it. Also PH, take down the not yet launched icon.
Tom Limongello
Really like it so far - I had so many images and gif's that I could use already in my phone, I'm afraid I could spend hours on here :D Quick question, how do you put the stars around the boxes? Or does that happen for the viewer only?

@tomlimongello viewers can tap any element on the screen to like it
Tom Limongello
@ckb ok cool - I like the intro gifs, will you make it possible to make those in the app? If not what do you recommend to make those ?
colin
Maker
@tomlimongello Thanks! We don't have a tool in the app to make them right now, but they are videos so any editing app would work. You could use snapchat for example. You might also try pocket.video
Joshua Dance
I like the ability to add photos and videos from the roll into the broadcast.
Caleb Gleit
Hey, will the option to change your username be available at any point?
colin

@calebgleit Good question. As of now the username is unique and can not be changed.
Jimmy Mackin
Good luck guys
Pierrick Ganon
Great timing when there is so much press around Vine. Although not sure we need another Periscope or Facebook Live. Honest question how is Hype going to compete?
