This is a fun app and you can do fun things with it. (:siren: sound autoplays on some of these)

There is a new beta coming shortly and it is a big departure but also ~~amazing~~

:burger: Update!



So, we have a brand new version of Byte out that removes timelines, profiles, and following for something simpler and more pure. It's Byte: Websites Jr.

Bytes are now standalone screens that you can name whatever you want. Bytes have the ability to link to other Bytes (think: hyperlinks). Navigation feels more fluid. Worlds have been deprecated.

This is very WIP and very beta, so expect bugs, crashes, and incomplete features.

On top of that, we've started working on an OS X client, so now you can view Bytes on OS X. We’ve even got Drastic Actions (from this very thread!) working with may turn into a Windows client.

Once you have a client installed on iOS or OS X, byte:// links will magically come to life.

byte://welcome
byte://super-mario-byte
byte://pizza

:coolspot: Links:

iOS Beta: Sign up for access
OS X viewer: Download

* creating a Byte is still iOS-only, but we will change that soon.

Try downloading the OS X app again and replacing the build you have. We had a test build up for a while, which has some new functionality, but caused the icon to be hidden and some other stuff.

You're absolutely right about the names. We're going to limit the names to alphanumeric later today or tomorrow, and come back to Unicode at a later time, because naming Bytes with emojis is :cool:.

We actually just added protection to the iOS loader because of byte://temp1. :rip:

I am enjoying the new layout and workflow of Bytes! It is nice to just scroll through a bunch of them at once. Kinda sucks not having the worlds and that sense of "Community", but as a free for all it's nice.

Also (null) ;)



HOPEFULLY these tools (and a few other ones coming in the next few days) will let us self organize and build miniature communities that way. byte://goodbytes is an interesting use case for that.

Can you import already recorded video? somehow missed that if so

Yep, it's a little hidden right now. Drag up when you've got the tool palette up, and it'll show you stuff from your camera roll.

Try this link from the post above, or you can wait for a couple of days and we'll transition existing testers over. Sorry about the confusion, we're transitioning between the old and new system at the moment.

We're putting out an update a little later today (or maybe tomorrow) that moves everything over to our launch infrastructure. Should be a lot faster (though still a bit buggy).

Amazing. The more I look at this, the more I think we should have desktop authoring as well.

Exact same byte, running on multiple devices. No code change required.

Awesome! That is definitely *not* the case for the OS X build.

I don't like the new one I liked the old one better.

Okay bye.


Give it some time! The browsing UI is still barebones in the new version.

EDIT: But actually, what did you like better?
