17th May Update

Hey Folks, Happy Friday! We wanted to share what we've been up to, so you know what to expect from the app in the next 1-2 months. 1. Bugs: We are hard at work trying to solve all the bugs that have slowly crept into Grapevine 😶 2. DMs: A polite way for users to take a few conversations deeper, and share referrals/resumes if they want to. A key worry for us would be to not make this spammy (like a few users pointed out on a recent post), while still staying helpful. 3. Experience: A smoother, more fluid app experience coming soon 4. Moderation: As posts and comments on Grapevine increase in number - there's also a small 0.1% of users that sometimes post abusive/offensive content. We're taking these issues more seriously. We read every 'report' that you share with us and take action appropriately 5. Grapevine on Web (I swear the first build is super exciting - I'm typing this post out on an early version of Grapevine Web 😉). This should allow people to browse Grapevine while in a boring meeting 😂 6. Salaries: We're building something exciting for better salary information 💰 7. Verification: You may have seen some users on Grapevine are now verified with a blue check. Currently only launched for employees of 3 companies, we'll launch this soon for more companies. This is how we'll raise the bar on trust within Grapevine. And no, we never plan to charge for blue ticks like some other platforms. It's just a darn image ☑️ Please do keep sending your awesome feedback at us, as always! Cheers 🍻

Hey folks, we’ve made tonnes of new changes to Grapevine: 1. A new look for Grapevine 2. A refreshed app logo 3. Link-type posts now look better 4. Image type posts now look smaller and cleaner 5. Lots of new algorithm changes that hopefully send ‘better’ posts to you 6. Lots of new Private Company Communities (more on this soon) 7. Lots of bug fixes As always, looking forward to your feedback and thoughts. P.S the DM feature is finally very close xD Cheers!

Hello Grapeviners, in this week's update - we squashed a bunch of bugs and added some features (please do update your app? 🥹) Here’s three new features we def want to mention: More Feeds: Now you can browse 4 different feeds from the filter menu on the TOP LEFT of the app: - Popular (Recommended) - Recent - Top of the Week (New) - Top of the Month (New) Comment Peaker: Many threads on Grapevine get busy with sometimes 25+ comments. Now when replying to comments - the new peak feature helps you see the comment in context as you are replying (so you don't have to relocate the comment you are replying to as you type) Improved Design for large devices: We realized Grapevine kinda sucked on large phone screens. We redesigned and fixed this Lastly, Thanks for the constant feedback. Please don’t hesitate to Email, DM or reach out with feedback. We will implement everything we can 🥲

Hey Folks, As Grapevine enters its second year of being live, we wanted to finish the major overhaul we were building towards over the last few months. We've rolled out some big updates today - please do update your app. Here's some top changes: 1. Communities: A whole new look to communities on Grapevine, along with new features such as community sort and live member counts (screenshot attached) 2. UI: A new font, new like (upvote) button and new community icons across the app 3. 100 Private Grapevines: We are proud/happy to share that there's now 100 private company grapevines where verified employees talk amongst each other. Join your company's Grapevine now. 4. Grapes 2.0: A new definition for Grape rewards coming soon. Grapes 2.0 definition will include more value to users for creating 'chatty' posts and verifying yourselves 5. Direct Messages: Multiple changes to improve the DM experience on Grapevine. You can also DM anyone from the Grapevine team (including MS) at any time without any Grape-constraints :) 6. Gestures: You can now swipe between screens on Grapevine, you can also swipe left when a post is open to go back to home screen (on iOS) As always, keep sending us your feedback. We want to make this the best-most helpful professional app that's out there P.S coming next week, a 2X faster Grapevine app..

Hey Folks, A few updates to Grapevine, so please do update your app from play/app store :) 1. A new slightly redesigned feed. We’ve adjusted font-weights and spacing to make things easier on your eyes. More refinements coming soon 2. Post and Comment Insights: You now get insights on posts and comments where you receive more than 7 likes. This will be a feature which all writers on the app will def appreciate :) 3. A better feed: We are constantly making adjustments to give you a better feed. Efforts such as ‘trending posts for you’ and the upcoming ‘posts you may like’ are efforts in this direction. This is something we want to get better at 4. Results on Polls: You can now see poll results even before you answer them! We can finally lose the popcorn option. Long time pending, I know… 5. Update on Private Feeds: We now have around 2500 verified users using their company’s private feed. IMO this is one of the deepest and most useful products within Grapevine. Or so I hear :) We will launch 25 more companies where we have ‘critical mass’ over the coming 4 weeks! Upcoming - we are very close to: 1. The rollout of DMs on Grapevine (after maybe 1000 users here scolded at us for not making it lol) 2. Rollout of the exciting new Salary Product (middle tab) 3. Grapes 2.0: Updating the Grapes formula to reflect your contribution to the community even more accurately Your patience and feedback is a privilege we do not take lightly! Thanks Grapeviners, and Happy Friday

Thank you for all the love and support over the last few weeks. :) Grapevine is just 5 weeks old and we are a very small team :) But we are trying address feature requests as they come from you all. A few things from us: 1. We recommend you update the app from the play/app store for the best experience 2. As per popular demand - timestamps have now been introduced in the app (available on latest version) 3. New (and hopefully better) algo for the popular feed has been rolled out Lastly, please feel free to drop in your feedback and feature requests in this post. We will try to implement everything we can.

Hey Everyone, A few updates from the Grapevine team: Bookmarks Bookmarks are now available across every post on Grapevine. Add a bookmark and read the post later in your 'profile' page within the app. Profile page is available in the Hamburger menu (☰) from the top left Sort comments You can now sort comments by popular, newest first and oldest first across all posts on Grapevine Undefined error/bug We are still working on fixing the 'Undefined' error that many of you are facing. We are trying our best to fix it. But in the short term, we've seen that the bug gets solved if you uninstall and then install the app again. We know this sucks, and we're really sorry P.S you may also have seen a Blue tick mark on my profile. Something exciting coming soon. But please don't worry, unlike other platforms it won’t be paid here :)
