@UnpaidIntern can someone look into this?

Is there any particular reason to open a page in browser drawer for a logged in user?

@GV team, opening a sharable link of a post or something GV related should open within the app itself

@GV team, opening a sharable link of a post or something GV related should open within the app itself- Grapevine

I don't like in-app browsers 🤷‍♂️

What is stopping GV from allowing us to open links in the system browser?

I work with Swiggy and as many of you already know the culture has become extremely toxic in Swiggy. Expectations of working 12-16 hours per day, be available on weekends, play dirty politics, blame other to save yourself , get really really aggressive, all of this with a constant fear of losing your job. The leaders are saying this culture change is required to achieve high growth targets for IPO.  They say a culture like this is required to raise the bar & keep people on their toes. But looking at Byjus it appears that this may help in the short run but eventually things fall apart. Employees are human resources not machines. But these toxic leaders don’t really care, as there is always some people available to replace the previous lot who left due to the toxicity. I really hope the leadership of companies like Swiggy open their eyes & realise this before it’s too late for their business. 

And people who are considering to join Swiggy. BEWARE. This isn’t the place it used to be. People have left within 1-2 months because of this culture. And nearly EVERYONE is looking out to switch.

Do extreme toxicity & inhuman working hours actually deliver growth?

Product Marketing Manager

Can someone from GV team tell me why there are points to post of GV
1. FAB
2. At the top, which looks like search bar to me

Can you share some insights on this decision or some data, what’s the CTR on this and how it’s performing?

I posted this poll, which had interesting answers, but was also skewed because where are all the females on this platform?!

Check the poll here: https://grapevine.in/post/31ff5af8-3f28-4af7-bfce-3564bbf1e31b

Also, the actual experiment behind the poll
" Every guy wants someone out of their league and every girl wants someone below their league!"

[Results] Dating above or below league?

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?

For instance on Grapevine, if I share a post link to someone, and they open the link, they are taken to play store rather than a webpage with the post. They could instead show a banner to download the app on the webpage to download the app like how quora and reddit do.

I hate platforms that requires downloading app to consume content

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, 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 🍻

Quick Update from the Grapevine team

Have any of you had this functionality open before time?

So apparently my GV chat option opened before 300 🍇

Not sure if it's a bug. If it's implemented as a feature I'm curious to know if the engagement has increased by implementing this. 

I was trying to send a screenshot of a hiring post to my friend and all I can see is black screen. I personally came to know of this app by encountering GVs screenshots posted online.

I know it's forcing someone to use the share button and thereby use the link to download the app. Forced download of an app would help someone? Not sure if someone would download a app just to look at one post.

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:

Chit Chat with Grapevine Team

Is there anyone who is interested to get the actual numbers of Hood, or want to do their app review and want to get the actual data.

I am here just let me know.

How hood is doing now?

It'd be better if we have the option to open URLs in our browser of choice instead of being forced to use the in-app browser

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I am just curious how GV team landed at the current UX after making all those changes - masking identity in feed, smaller font, more empty spaces, removing insights on comment, notifications. 

Was this to make it consistent with web design? 
Any significant changes in output metrics?

How GV team decided on the current UX(iOS)?

In India, it's the norm where candidate has to show all his cards (past 3 salary slips or increment letter etc) to prospect employer which sets the benchmark. However, the candidate usually has no idea abt the pay range for the JD, the KRAs, team strength, budget, and the monetary value he is expected to bring to the firm. Most firms also put 90day notice period which makes it difficult to change jobs.

How do you folks try to negotiate pay?
What %hike over current is a starting point?
If no other offer is in hand, but the firm is strong arming you to a less pay, how have you/would you negotiated in such scenario?

@GV team, opening a sharable link of a post or something GV related should open within the app itself
