Last week I reverse engineered a new app called Byte and created an unofficial web app for it. Byte is basically Vine reborn and it&#x27;s even from the same cofounder of Vine.<p>This is the story of how I reverse engineered Byte, ported its mobile app functionality to the web and unofficially implemented a missing feature that was heavily requested by its users.<p>The creator of Byte, Dom Hofmann actually noticed what I did, complimented me on my work, and didn&#x27;t even ask for me to take it down, so if you want to check out what I built and explore bytes on the web, visit: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.byte.community&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.byte.community&#x2F;</a><p>The code is open source on GitHub: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;CaliAlec&#x2F;Byte-Community" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;CaliAlec&#x2F;Byte-Community</a><p>I wrote a Medium article explaining how I did it: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@calialec&#x2F;how-i-reverse-engineered-byte-and-created-my-own-byte-web-app-2828f5520b25" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@calialec&#x2F;how-i-reverse-engineered-byte-a...</a>

Pretty nice work, and a great write up. It looks just like the real app.<p>Also, did you create those tweening stars on the &quot;Spotlight&quot; button?
