Chit Chat with Grapevine Team

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!

1. Ability to follow people and their activity 2. DM with attachments for referrals 3. More reactions for posts - upvote / downvote, other reactions 4. Better community management - to avoid repeats - e.g. students 5. More flexibility for posts - e.g. image + poll 6. Karma points or something - that way anonymity at scale doesn’t allow toxic behaviour to persist

I can select text in comments but not in replies. This should be an easy fix.

RN webview gives option to open in default browser but then that activity can’t be tracked 😜 or it’s simply for debounce metric

Are you planning to bring DM feature anytime soon? That is a big missing part here. If you are concerned about spamming, then you can club it with twitter like follower feature, i.e. if two people follow each other then only they can DM each other. I understand features like these may take some time, but hope it is being considered. But in any case, great changes in last couple of weeks/months.

We do have it 50% ready since a few weeks, but yes have waited to launch it because of spam concerns. Specially because how difficult moderation and controlling abuse can get with this feature. Interesting advice on the follow feature. But we think not all users want to be followed as that will make this less comfortable to interact in certain cases

Follow or a notify if they've posted something new is definitely something I'd be interested in for sure. Wana see how many other folks on here would like to request that feature. And yes, DM only if you follow is a good idea cuz if anyone wants to share additional info they have to share their telegram and take the conversation off the platform. It'll help increase time spent on the platform for sure......

@potatomato right now we are only verifying people against company names via email. Can think of people in early stage startups in a different way - but need to have a clear strategy there

Option to turn off notifications for a particular post and thread. Also, turn off notifications if people are liking my comments/replies.

Thanks will think about this Did you end up writing a very successful post/comment and thus got too many notifications?

Ugnrga748

Yes, I commented on a post and got like 15-20 likes. And there were several notifications.

2 suggestions: Thread for feedback Prompt other similar threads when writers try and introduce a thread. Seen too many posts with the same topic. Would be great to channelise that engagement on one post and try and open everyone to most number of inputs/opinions

Hey, I just wanted to mention that don’t bloat out with unnecessary features, while other social medias are already having that option, we prefer this one to be minimal. Not required, but anyone else wants, pls include: 1. Image reaction on comment…for memes sake (not necessary tho) 2. And get us the downvote button so I can use it. Would like to feel evil & spreading hate -_- 3. Please add one cybersecurity section, apart from P Mgmt and S engg.

Whenever I sort comments, newest first should display the comment which even has a new reply to comment . Suppose there is Comment A of 1hr ago and comment B of 2hr ago and Comment B receives a reply to the comment , then newest first should display comment B at top. I had this use case almost all of the time. Maybe other grapeviners prefer the other way. All yours Michel

I think you guys are doing a great job, I hope it doesn't become one of those generic social media platforms, bringing a follow feature will make people go for the influencer level bs once this app gains a much higher user base.
