Grapevine 🍇 is 1,00,000+ strong

TL;DR We stay on the internet nowadays. I am doing so since 2009. From orkut to fb, Twitter to insta, WhatsApp to Tg and Quora to Reditt. If u look closely all are Western apps, few entrepreneurs tried to make the Indian SM app but it turned cringe n toxic like hood etc. I was silent reader here for 3m, then started interacting actively 5m back. Saw this platform evolving from 0 to 1. Hell a lot of improvement. But what I loved maximum is how beautifully people help each other, from referral to rant, Job opening to layoff, CTC discussion to crazy comparison, love to hate, left to right, PM to Sde, Whitefield to Koramangala and what not... We have everything on a tap from food to cab and dating to matrimonial still we are the unhappiest gen. GrapeVine( thanks to @Micheal_Scott )kinda platform is helping to kill that loneliness and toxicity of one's life. Always there to discuss and talk about semiconductors, ai, economy, philosophy, marketing, music n memes! 🥂 Cheers and have a nice day. Keep smiling ☺️ Bonus - https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=VATfbq_116I&feature=share

It’s therapeutic because you can share different aspects of your life that you can’t talk about on other platforms. For instance, you can't criticize the Ola CEO on LinkedIn, demand justice for the Kolkata rape case on Twitter without getting a notice from the Kolkata police, or express unhappiness on Instagram because that’s not the vibe of that platform. But on Grapevine, you can do all of this and more. Funny enough, I’ve been able to analyze different aspects of my personality (and all my different personalities). My brain works a lot, I talk a lot, and I think a lot. Over the past year, I've realized I see things very differently than how society, media, or authorities expect me to. Grapevine has been a tool for understanding myself better. I can share a thought, and maybe 15 people will respond—some agreeing, some disagreeing, and a few might even call me names. But that’s okay, that’s just how they function. All part of self-discovery. Another thing I appreciate about Grapevine is that it removes the halo effect we often have. Our names, colleges, and companies are masked (some who haven't revealed them), reducing the blurring of judgments. We connect with people on a more human-to-human level. Grapevine is great if you're looking to find a partner, lover, or simply make new friends and expand your network. You can be yourself, and the people who know you here often know you better than those you meet at college, work, or even within your family.

Currently it seems like a WhatsApp group of ~ 15 people interacting with each other. Not sure how does the platform intends to grow

Grapevine is massive 🍾

Is it just me or is grapevine community really small? I keep seeing comments from few selected people only and not many new comments everyday. My experience is based on the "indian Startups" community.

How did you come to know about it? What made you download it? And why are you still using it? Building anything in social is so hard. I want to know how they got the users.

What does this mean for users at Grapevine? Is this data collection for the future. Anonymous messaging services but what is the ultimate end goal here. Thoughts

What in your opinion are few features that grapevine offers or should introduce which will lead it to become a global social site?
