Advice to the Grapevine admin- Grapevine

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..

Grapevine Update: Grapes 2.0, more DMs and more Grapevines

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

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 🥲

A better reading and replying experience on Grapevine

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!

Grapevine app update!

Hello team
I feel there are few gaps in the app

1. If I need referrals from someone, there is no way to get it without disclosing my email in public.

2. The best time to scroll reddit is when you are in a meet. For that I use desktop version of reddit.
Is there an option to have web version of this app?

3. Also I feel there are very limited groups can we add groups like referral and avl jobs?

Those who have started using this app have realised that you dont have an option to connect with professionals on a personal chat, this might prove to be a hindering factor in the growth of this platform. In today's world where all message and social media applications allow users to cold text the other person I feel that this option should be available on grapevine as well. After all, we are just one cold text away from a new funding or maybe a marvellous job offer. So guys do your best and help us get this message across to the developers.
Up vote and comment as much as you can.

Unrestricted chatting with professionals

This week we focused on killing the most annoying bugs on Grapevine, while making the app as fast as we could (for now).

Please update Grapevine from App/Play Store for the fastest + least buggy experience in our (8 week) history.

Grapevine valentine's day app update

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I could solve general problems from arrays, trees, sorting and all. I would fail miserably when the interview goes in the direction of DP problems. After a point I realised it actually doesn’t matter, you will find enough places where you are valued for your skills. 

Been a person who was on the both sides of the table, more on the side taking interviews. I realised one thing how many of us end up writing those fancy TSP code or backtracking etc day in day out. Almost most of the code we write is in some form a version of CRUD and its a reality.
Someone getting hired in google is not going to be assigned to improve their search algorithm. I know a lot of ppl who joined and left google because they were not getting to work on meaningful stuff. 

I ask real life programming stuff and I try to judge based on that, I want to see given a real scenario how the candidate thinks rather then knowing how good the person is in solving some DP problem.

Some ppl can write real good code without realising that they are actually using the best practices and design patterns and not remembering the patterns name, it sometimes just comes naturally

I suck at DSA, realized its okay.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hey Folks,

We really do want to deliver the best Grapevine possible for you. 100s of comments and emails over the last few months have been helpful in getting us moving in the right direction. There's also 2-3 awesome launches coming up in the next couple months (many of which were suggested by members here). 

But we thought about getting to speak with a few people in more detail. Specially understand your current use case and long term expectations/product ideas for Grapevine.

If you'll be so kind to come speak with us for 30 minutes, please consider booking a time slot from this calendly link: 

https://calendly.com/michaelscott-/gvine-catchup

Disclaimer: This WILL NOT reveal your on-platform identity to the Grapevine team. We won't be asking you to mention your username or any other personal details on this call. Trust us on that!

Chit Chat with Grapevine Team

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 🍻

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hi @Grapevine team and Community marketing enthusiast who have worked on 0-1/1-10, We are building a community app related to dating and figuring out unpaid marketing channels what will work or not since we don’t have much money to do paid marketing. How did you started grapevine and manage community effects, did you go to paid channels? Do you believe in grow fast or die or growing slow in community apps is also fine since credibility comes with size of community. What are the effective channels we can explore apart from twitter and instagram? 

Members even if you don’t have idea please like the post to get it highlighted it will be great help for us❤️

A question to Grapevine Founder/team

Hey Folks, I thought I should do an AMA specially after yesterday’s rumours that I have been laid off from Grapevine - this isn’t true 😂. It is however true that I have been PIPed and have a much reduced role now xD 

To be serious: Happy to answer any Grapevine questions that you may have. Features, ideas, questions on why we do what we do welcome - I’ll answer what I can! 

Cheers!

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
