"Jack Dorsey, through his nonprofit 'and Other Stuff,' is focused on funding experimental open source projects that have the potential to transform the social media landscape."
"Evan Henshaw-Plath, known as 'Rabble' online, explored the Vine archive and wrote big data scripts to reconstruct the videos and associated user engagement."

Divine is a new app that revives Vine's six-second looping videos, offering access to an archive of approximately 500,000 restored videos. Funded by Jack Dorsey's nonprofit, 'and Other Stuff,' the project aims to transform social media. Evan Henshaw-Plath, an early Twitter employee, led the effort to reconstruct the Vine archive, which was backed up by the Archive Team. The app has gained traction among original Vine creators and is now publicly available after initial testing with 100,000 videos.
