The bigger theme is simple: more agency, less friction, and more room to play.
Divine is being shaped into a place for real people, real weirdness, and real creative ownership. No slop. No doom-scroll tax. Just a better space to make, share, and connect.
* Platform and release improvements: macOS support, experimental Linux support, better Zapstore and release automation, improved Crashlytics symbol uploads, iOS crash fixes, Android background-work fixes, and build stability work.
* Better sharing and social actions: a cleaner unified share flow, restored download actions, better user search in sharing, smarter follow handling, and notification badge fixes.
* Better community features: real-time comments, profile comments tab, cross-device sync for likes and reposts, block-user support, clearer content warnings, stronger moderation lookups, and improved Human Made / AI badge handling.
* More capable creation tools: upgraded camera and video editor flows, custom audio rendering, audio editor support, countdown sound, auto lens switching, stronger clip deletion and drag interactions, better waveform feedback, improved gallery saving, and a redesigned drafts/clips library.
* Stronger identity and sign-in flows: multi-account support, better deep-link and email verification handling, session recovery improvements, external name support, remote account login, and fixes so verified identity is shown more honestly.
* Better discovery: a rebuilt home experience, a persistent For You mode, curated lists in feed logic, a new Categories tab in Explore, faster search behavior, and better hashtag reliability.
What’s new since 1.0.5:
* A faster, more stable feed: quicker home load, fewer black flashes and freezes, fewer phantom pauses, better subtitle support, cleaner overlays, safer pooled playback, and fixes for tricky Divine-hosted video URLs.
Playback is smoother. Search is sharper. Profiles, comments, badges, sharing, and notifications all got real attention. The camera, editor, and library also took a big step forward, with better audio tools, stronger draft handling, cleaner clip workflows, and fewer weird edge-case failures.
New Release of Divine 1.0.6
Since 1.0.5, Divine has become a much stronger playground for human creativity and connection.
github.com/divinevideo/...
We’ve made the app faster, steadier, and more expressive across the board. Feed loading is dramatically quicker.
What began as a one-person passion project turned into Divine and an attempt to revive a piece of internet culture we never should have lost.
Turns out, a lot of you missed it too, and are tired of AI Slop.
We believe creative power belongs in human hands. 🤲
Sorry Data, there’s no AI allowed on divine.

Classic Vines live on Divine. Do you remember this one?

Thomas Sanders is the Viner we’re hearing people ask to return the most.
Appreciate the shoutout 🙌
The possibilities are endless 👀
On Divine, videos are capped at 6 seconds. The perfect length for authentic, creative, short-form content (and also a Rickroll 😉)
This week, Anil Dash, board member of @eff.org, joins @rabble.nz to discuss the independent web & the loss of ethics in tech.
In this ep:
💻 Tech layoffs impact on society
🚕 Uber’s impact on taxi drivers
🎶 Prince & Taylor Swift's fight for ownership

We’re designing Divine to be open like the web. Just like hackers were able to overthrow the dominance of AOL in the early 90’s we’re going to overthrow the Meta / TikTok duopoly today!
If they don’t laugh at this, it wasn’t meant to be 💔
Happy Valentine's Day!

Spotted on diVine 👀
This weekend, @garyvee.com met our CMO and social media manager, and got a sneak peek at the diVine beta.
Naturally, he couldn’t resist filming a looping video. 🤫
Watch his diVine here: divine.video/video/bf712a...
The creators of Vine tested a few different lengths, and determined 6 second videos that loop was the best combo of quickness and content quality!
We’re excited to have you 😇
Sorry, 6 second limit!
