I worked really hard the last couple of weeks to create a new version that will bring dMania to the next level. Version 0.5 introduces videos on dMania.
Videos on dMania
Videos on dMania are similar to videos on 9GAG. They are short, loop, autoplay by default and are muted by default. Videos on dMania are different to videos on @dtube. On dMania you upload funny or interesting short clips. Those clips bring a totally new form of entertainment to Steem.
The maximum video length is 90 seconds. All videos are 360p, very small and fast to download.
dMania video example
Watch video on dMania
Video upload
There is a new video upload tab on the upload page. You can select a file or drag and drop a video. The supported video formats are mp4, avi, mkv, flv, mov and mpeg. All videos are stored on Amazon AWS. The upload limit is 100MB. All videos are transcoded to 360p. If your video is longer than 90 seconds, it will be shortened.
The video sizes on dMania are between 1-10 MB. They have to be small and fast to download and they shouldn't use up all the data quota of mobile users.
For every uploaded video, a thumbnail/snapshot image of the first frame is generated. The thumbnail image will be visible on Steemit and will link to your video on dMania.
Custom tags
A lot of users requested custom tags, so here they are. On every upload on dMania, you can now select up to 4 custom tags. I haven't implemented custom tags so far, because they are only important on Steemit and not on dMania. I want to make dMania as independent of Steemit as possible. Steemit is the most famous app on Steem for now. In a year or so, things will be different. There will be a lot of apps on Steem and some of them will be as popular as Steemit or even more.
What's next?
For the next update I will improve the UI and usability. I will start to promote dMania outside of Steem in December.
I still can't work full-time on dMania. It just doesn't generate enough rewards yet and hasn't received as much attention as other apps on Steem. In my opinion dMania doesn't receive the attention it deserves. It was never mention on SteemFest and Steemit never tweeted about dMania (They did it for all other apps...). dMania has a lot of features that others apps on Steem don't have like SteemConnectV2 integration, sponsor/supporter system, voting bot, ...
dMania has a similar supporter/sponsor system like @utopian-io. Utopian has already collected over 4 million Steem Power and dMania only 38k. Most upvoting bots have more Steem Power.
Utopian has also received 1 million Steem Power from the Steemit CEO @ned. In my opinion as CEO he should support all apps on Steem and not just one...
Nevertheless I will keep working on dMania and improve it as much as I can. My goal isn't to make it better than other apps on Steem. I want to make it better than 9GAG, the most famous meme website out there.
Support
dMania
dMania supporters receive 15% of the rewards on dMania. To become a dMania supporter, you have to delegate some Steem Power to dMania. The minimum is only 5 Steem Power. By delegating Steem Power, you are lending your Steem Power to dMania. The Steem Power still belongs to you.
The dMania bot uses the collected Steem Power to upvote posts on dMania.
Supporters
There are already 50 dMania supporters.

Nice addition! 9Gag+ haha :)
VERY NICE AND GREAT ADDITION....VOTE ,PLEASE
Your post is very good upvoted , Hope do same on it.
I seriously have respect for real and proper web developers!
“For every uploaded video, a thumbnail/snapshot image of the first frame is generated. The thumbnail image will be visible on Steemit and will link to your video on dMania. “
For the rest of the people I’ll explain how this is important.
Mobile devices are by default unable to play, load or auto play videos in browsers/apps and that generated thumbnail is setting your mobile device to make sure to load video as image and release it on your click (load).
If this wasn’t done properly we would not be having fun of doing videos here!
Great work and fun!
Upvoted!

what is better dtube or dmania ?
They are not to be compared.
DTube is blockchain version of real YouTube.
DMania is short length clips and movies for fun and gifs to be uploaded.
They are both
thanks for the answer ☺
I like it !
They are really two very different things. DTube is more like the YouTube of SteemIt, and DMania is like the 9GAG of Steem. Both brilliant ideas, but I think DMania is more fun. I also love the fact that you can get in on the rewards by delegating SP.
Nice
upvote me in the account @khamil and @yaserayu
i totally agree.
Nice
To be honest, I'm still at loss for what kind of platform dMania is. I wish i could better understand, without having to go back and find a forum! :0 Thanks. I wish i had more knowledge on this topic.I'm super anxious to start coding.
Ottimo post! Grazie!
Very very nice post!
Good to know that every day the platform gets better!
yes that's so nice and steem will grow biger and biger
follow me
ok
Great work @zombee! Let's catch up with YouTube by the number of loadings ☺
very interesting blog
I cannot log in on dmania any more . when i click on button log in redirecting me to steemconnect.com and stopes on a blank page ,, any solution for that ?
I tried now and everythink works. You should use main password, not WIF code.
Problem Solved changed my password and trying to login to dmania used my access token from another browser . steemconnect is a really big problem plz make the old login again with posting key , it was better than this , this make posting hanging and from 10 posts there is just 3 posts made i'll keep trying again
Tried just right now just like i said before No Login just a blank page , not giving me anything
What browser do you use? Maybe if you clear the cache for the website it will work.
cache cleared and nothing happend , updated browser , posted 10 posts from 20 , steemconnect make the posting hangs and after posting the page of upload still loading about 1 hour for 1 post :(
What browser do you use? You can login now, but you can't post?
previously i cant log in , if i logged in hanging on posting , now works fine i'll test again tonight and i will leave a comment if works fine :) thanks for replay :)
@zombee am i the only one had that problem ???
When iam trying now hanging in posting
changed broweser ,, update ,, reset ,, nothing works
Thanks man. You show me that paying 6 STEEM for steemconnect v2 is waste of money
I appreciate your work regarding @dmania, I post an article on Steemit, Read it May be helpful:- https://steemit.com/giveaway/@jimmyjemsx/giveaway-flickgif-pro-the-ultimate-tool-for-next-generation-gif-images
Great news for dMania!! Sweet.
A suggestion I have for you in order to make dMania really go viral on steemit is to have embeddable videos / gif memes that you can play from dMania right here on steemit. I'm aware that this will probably take a bit of coding / knowledge / time, but it's just a thought.
Keep up the good work @zombee.
Cheers,

great enhancement to the site ! @cnts check this out !!
Nice ! i'm super happy great job !
I am Nigerian and I do memes basically for the Nigerian community...
But on my fact of having valuable content...
I have a lot of memes that I upload close to 10 at once... At times I bake over 20 memes in a day and I would really have my timeline flooded posting them separately... On dmania
If you could make it easy for me as a person to upload more than one meme at once on a single post. I would just dedicate posting my memes on the new platform...
You can check my blog for the memes I already made.. Stopped at volume 4 ...
And if you are in IG.. You can check @ttopofficial I have over 200 memes there
Hey @zombee you are so keen and hardworker this progress will attract new users to dmaina and it will turn into great success, as i think it will be milestone in the journey of dmania, in a lighter mode although zombee are creepy and so slow but this zombee is so fast and smart may be it's advanved version of zombee.
God bless you my friend.
God bless dMania.
thank's to give us your information...
excellent post
Thanks for this nice post.
waoo its all so nice of u people @abdulsalim
This is cool! Just happened to stumble across it. I'm on an iPad, and have had no luck with Zappl or DTube. I've Neenah looking of other apps on the steem block chain. Gonna try it out tomorrow. 👍🏾😊

@zombee This is super! Great work.. This will be great for people like me who often have a minute or two to see the creativity of others. I really enjoyed the video you provided. I love churros :) Time is the best commodity a person has; and you had done greatness with yours! Thank you. I just joined the world of gifs not too long ago and this addition will make it more addicting than it should. Lol. Best wishes.
keep it up... i hope dMania will success very soon.....
nice post
Nice Post @zombee
Wow
your projects are really funny and helpful
Will the uploaded content stay on our profiles or will they be deleted after time just like on dtube?
Nothing will be deleted. Everything is hosted on Amazon AWS with redundancy. Is it like that on dtube?
Yes, one day my vids were gone
very very nice post
nice post. go ahead
thank you so much for your hard work
This will surely take Dmania to another Peak.
I'll try to use it as much as possible. I'm not that much meme creator.
But I could surely do something on videos.
thanks :)
