Then in 2016 Twitter announced they would be shutting down Vine, and it was a tragedy felt by the entire nation.
for the homie, @vine i love you💚 the first company to take a chance on me. and give me genuine support
But just last week Dom Hofmann, the founder of Vine, announced that he had plans to create a follow-up app.
i'm going to work on a follow-up to vine. i've been feeling it myself for some time and have seen a lot of tweets, dms, etc.


That brings us to today when Hofmann tweeted this picture. Could it be? Could it possible be? The rebirth of Vine??

Obviously, Twitter lost its mind.
@dhof OKAY WHAT
It didn't take long before people started offering assistance.

The news is definitely overwhelming.
@dhof
It's like the Christmas present we've always wanted but never deserved.

Some offered suggestions for the new app.
