[Feedback] How can we improve Grapevine
Hey Folks, We recently launched LOTS of new features: 1. Nested Comments and Collapsible comments 2. New Feed design 3. New Communities 4. Discover More (Gives you more similar posts) 5. Newer Fonts 6. Color adjustments to light and dark mode Lots of other smaller things here and there as well. I'd love your feedback on any thing that we can do to improve your GV experience P.S we are also going to launch 3 'very big' feartures within the next 6 weeks, so do stay tuned for that.
After creating a post it there is no option to edit...in case there was any typo. So please provide an option to edit and repost it.
Bugs:
1. Everytime we comment, the app is asking me to turn on notifications. It's annoying.
2. Clicking on comment opens up the Share window.
(Kindly fix these, it's ruining the user experience for me)
Features:
1. Option to edit a post and comment.
2. Option to simply hide a post since it's being shown repeatedly on the feed.
3. Option to add two or more images in a post.
4. Option to edit our profile avatar (pretty please 🙏🏻)
Thanks so much @MrRobot1992 !
Solving Bugs 1 and 2 ASAP
As for features. 3 of the 4 features you mentioned will come within the next few weeks. I won't tell you which xD xD
Share any screenshots in this thread to make it easier for us to see what's not good :/
One feature that I'd like to be added is -
"Searching posts within a community."
Right now, if I'm not wrong , the search indexes the whole of grapevine. I'd like it if it just showed the results from a particular community I want.
@BarrenPizza Search within communities will launch in September for sure
See more comments
A few things -
1. If I delete a comment, it will get removed from the post, but remains in the history of comments and notifications.
2. Please add the Readers community.
3. Sometimes spacing would work, and most of the times when I post, the white lines would get auto-removed after posting. This literally messes up the formatting, and it looks like a long paragraph which is not very engaging.
Notification from a message just shows up as username and the inflated avatar. I want to know what the context is from notification itself, at least show some part of the message.
Deletion probably just hides it and does not actually delete. This is an issue.
makes the downvote section a bit busy/cumbersome
We are still testing downvotes to see if that's genuinely a helpful feature within GV long term
All features are good.
4 especially, long pending.
1 more feature, if it's already in your To Do List
Follow user, so if I like someone's post a lot!
I should get notified once s(he) post.
That doesn't mean I want to see the full timeline, that's debatable!
Also if photo quality can be restored as it's getting degraded.
Short Video may be 10s can be good not more than that, let's reduce the attention span further and might help when u monetise GV down the line
But applause, so far you guys have came.
DM speed loading like a snail to Agni 6 speed.
Photos and Gifs in comments.
Ratings over Play store improved.
Ideas like marketing over same persona platform clicked on.
Happy to see the slow and sustainable success.
Keep growing 💗 💗 💗
@Sherlock007 love it!
Have noted down everything you just mentioned.
We are. thinking of the follow feature in the form of something called 'public profiles'
Photo quality being solved in next release
We are not thinking of adding video at the moment, want to really succeed with text and images only for now. Video is an obvious 'engagement' loop that we want to try later.

Better Search
Search for keywords should also search through comments.

Michael single handedly summoned feedback, bugs and new ideas 💀😅.
1. Option for customising my feed based on number of words, I don't want to see low effort post, which has missing details, in it.
2. My notification is filled with random notification and hence I miss comment on my posts or replies to my comments most of the time.
Everytime I open the app it defaults to my company. Is it possible to change it to open the default home screen instead of my company.
Notifications can be improved. Not understanding, why I'm getting, what notifications I'm getting.
Make it less buggy
- random scroll ups or refreshes
- text scales to the point it is unreadable
Allow to verify your company while also not making it visible to everyone else

Collapsible comment threads for easier navigation within the comments like reddit would be nice.
@timepicker we launched collapsible/threaded comments - please do update your app

on it 🫡
@Micheal_Scott NSFW filter for explicit visuals and images as well as a trigger warning before opening up a post.
What kind of trigger warnings do you need? What kind of posts usually bother you?
There have been times when people unintentionally post a picture which might trigger a few users for instance, I recently saw a picture of a boy who got electrocuted outside his building. OP blatantly posted the picture along with the saddening news. I am pretty sure instances such as these might trigger a few users.

don't fix what ain't broke
A lot of times when I click on any notification it takes a lot of time to go open that post in the app. While if I open app it works fine.
