Nuked 
Hello, tech lovers! Today, we’re diving into an exciting new app that’s making waves in the world of short-form videos.
Introducing Neptune, a fresh contender looking to shake things up against giants like TikTok and Instagram Reels.
This app is still in beta but has quickly gained traction, boasting 970 active testers and a whopping 400,000 on the waiting list.
Neptune is set to launch on the App Store soon, with a rollout to Google Play anticipated in about six months.
Founded by Ashley Darling, a former talent director at OPTYX, Neptune aims to foster creativity over follower counts, breaking away from the intense competition often seen on social media.
Ashley expressed the vision behind Neptune, highlighting a desire to make social media fun again, focusing on creativity rather than competition.
With its emphasis on enriching user experience, Neptune hopes to provide a safer platform that prioritizes the quality of content.
The app plans to introduce various revenue streams, including tips, livestreams, and subscriptions alongside an engaging video feed.
One standout feature is the ability for creators to conceal their follower and like counts, which helps alleviate the pressure of social validation.
Neptune shifts the focus towards user interests and content quality, putting creators back in control.
Moreover, with the feature called ‘Hop Back,’ users can seamlessly continue watching videos where they left off!
While currently limited in functionality, Neptune is actively working on incorporating more features, including playlists and music integration.
