GV feature query- What happens if I send dm to someone less than 300 grapes

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.

Hello Viners, have known some of you since a very long time. So if anybody wants to say hi, would love to chat with some of you who I’ve previously exchanged messages with on comments :)

I recently hit the 300 grapes mark. Not sure what is the value of these. Earlier i believe it would opened gates of personal DMs. Any suggestions?

I'm teaching myself native iOS development and I feel like I'm someone who performs fairly well under proper guidance. I need help with the following things: 1. Setting realistic goals and expectations, 2. Learn from experiences and mistakes of an industry professional, 3. Learn to navigate the ecosystem and learn things such as learning to read Apple Developer Documentation and general software engineering skills, and 4. To be able to grow my network for improved chances of scoring an intern/new grad role. A little request: I need 40 more grapes before I can access DMs and directly approach people. Every grape counts!

Updates on DMs and a few newer additions: 1. DMs are live... I just had a few conversations with a few of you. We do apologize for the initial buggy experience, but we’ve since worked on fixing it. We’re rolling out a fix patch, and in the meantime logging out and in out of Grapevine will get your DMs working. Sorry for the initial hiccups folks! 2. ⁠ Search is improved. You can now write a query in Natural Language and it just works. My favourite is, “Best Startups to work at” 3. ⁠Feed is tailored to you. We use posts you’ve interacted with in the past to deliver the next best post on Grapevine. The most relevant posts are re-ordered to the top. As always do share your feedback and we will keep trying to make things even better.
