Neptune One of the new short-form video applications in the block is to compete with major players like Tiktok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
The app currently in Bita has attracted attention from thousands of users, every 970 testers of the company have participated and 400,000 people are in the weightlist.
Neptune announced on Monday that it was planning to launch the app on the App Store next week with plans to roll out on the Google Play Store within about six months.
The startup was founded by Ashley Darling, who was the background as a talent director at the Optics Agency, where he worked with “underestimated” influencers. He traveled for the purpose of developing a platform that emphasized creativity instead of the number of followers of a creator.
Darling shared with TechCrunch, “I myself spent years of working with independent manufacturers to help the brands as a dominant and later.” “I hear the same thing from the creators and users, ‘I missed when social media was fun. When it was about creativity, not competition’ ‘So, I made one without waiting for a platform”. “
Neptune is still uncertain that Neptune is still uncertain that encouraging the environment that Creator is looking for an alternative way to earn income will encourage the environment that prioritizes the quality of video and connection instead of the follow -up calculations. The app is planned to provide various earning streams including tips, livestream and subscriptions.
A vertical feed is featured to swipe through an invention tool and users short videos like Neptune, like its competitors. In addition, users can add a cover photo to their profiles by imitating what X and other networking applications offer.
One of the main distinct features of Neptune is that it allows manufacturers to hide their total followers and preferences. This “Ghost Metrics” feature is AL Chhosik, and it is designed to help avoid the pressure related to the users followed by the users, yet it still provides manufacturers who want to display their metrics.
According to the organization, the algorithm of Neptune emphasizes the popularity of the creator rather than the popularity of the user and the quality of the content. Generally, social media algorithms prioritize the content with the highest busyness, often a lesser-known creator or “micro-influenza” a disadvantage.
“We put the power again in hand [the creators] Who actually created the Internet. Not a corporation, not algorithm. For Neptune Connection, not the cloud.
Another significant feature is “Hop Back”, which users let a video start to watch again where they leave, when the app is refreshed, prevents their space from losing.
Neptune is in Bita and all its motivated features are not yet supplied. It is currently on the simple side, only a video feed and provides a search function. When examining the app, we have noticed that it lacks the application editing equipment and direct messages.
The agency says it is working to add a livestream capacity, the ability to create playlists and integration of music.
