Undefined error/bug
We are still working on fixing the 'Undefined' error that many of you are facing. We are trying our best to fix it. But in the short term, we've seen that the bug gets solved if you uninstall and then install the app again. We know this sucks, and we're really sorry

P.S you may also have seen a Blue tick mark on my profile. Something exciting coming soon. But please don't worry, unlike other platforms it won’t be paid here :)

I really liked the concept. It has best of both worlds. Easiest way to create content is audio, and consume is text.

However, I think it will suffer because it might not promote controversial stuff or negative comments.

Humans have a negativity bias. Name-calling, insults or blind hate, are things that no one likes - but also things that no one can look away from. And those engaged in it can't easily pull away. 

One of the reasons why Grapevine is so good because in an anonymous forum, people might be less likely to step in and stop negative behavior. People either promote propaganda of one company or to spread shit about other companies.


Even X is infamous for rewarding conflict. Most negative comments come from anon folks. elafda get the best engagement.  


The audio first social media app Airchat has a second order effect that people can write way more mean shit than say it aloud. Plus it's not natively anon. 

I really wish it does work, in a world where there's so much negativity, we need airchat to thrive.

Hey Folks, 

Happy Friday! 
Hope the week was awesome for most of you and bearable for others. 

Grapevine had about over 600 posts in the last week. Thought of sharing some of the best ones to make for a nice weekend reading.

Here’s a recap of the best moments on Grapevine: 

1) Linkedin Gyaanis should be Banned by @AvgRasmalaiEnjoyer : Some of the funniest stuff we read this week, some harsh truth bombs were dropped all over 💣
https://share.gvine.app/9NpDNLwGMsQXbwhy9


2) Is rags to riches real ? Anyone on Grapevine changed his financial status drastically ? by @RashOrient64 : The most heart warming comment section ever, some of the most inspiring stories of growth and people who have made it in their own way 📈
https://share.gvine.app/EpFH97nngeJMtL1f6 


3) Comment “Overpaid” and get some gyaan by @salt : @salt does it again with the meme of the week 🥴
https://share.gvine.app/i16Rgyqt2htruBUU6

4) Recruiters are Wylin by @BlandMetal88 : Nothing much to see here folks, the best of Linkedin Cringe continues to be pretty cringy 😬
https://share.gvine.app/MkNJUEDf9Yb5yQc18


5) Where are you working from? by @ElomDusk himself : Top Poll of the Week, almost 76% of the users are either purely working from home or hybrid - I think this might be why we see continued activity on Grapevine 🤣
https://share.gvine.app/UFFRTPKF3M9APbuD9


There’s more, but I’m calling it a week. Feel free to share your best moments in the comments below or add if I ended up missing something major 🙈
Have a great weekend everyone! :)

My Favorite Posts this Week

I’m one of the active users so wonder if we should give this a name. Grapeviners? Grapevinees? Viners?

What should Grapevine members be called?

Product Marketing Manager

I'd made a distressed post after getting laid off.

Update to:  https://grapevine.in/post/86d40198-4ba6-4f24-b830-8934dc196941

I can't help thank you guys enough for helping me get though the tough times and dealing with the shame and shock.

I did end up taking taking the vacation, though I did spend sometime out out it interviewing. I'd only told my fiance about the layoff and she was understanding and supportive 🥹. To the rest of the families I just told them I'm interviewing since I got good reachouts.

I'm thankful to everyone who reached out to me on my post and for the pings with opportunities.

Did end up taking up an offer from one of the reachouts. 

Can't thank you all enough.

& kisses to Michel Scott (No homo) for releasing DMs .

Thank you Grapeviners ❤️❤️❤️

Product Manager

Let me spill the tea on what's buzzing over at Grapevine in last 24 hours. You're in for a treat with these top posts, so let's dive in ASAP:

1. ServiceNow Interview Disaster - https://share.gvine.app/yPfdLxoKeMojQ6tF6
Honey, let me spill the tea. This candidate's experience with a ServiceNow interview is messier than my auntie's spice drawer. A fresher interviewing a senior? That's like a toddler teaching a chef how to cook biryani. ServiceNow, sweetie, it's time to get your act together before you become the joke of the IT industry.

2. Poker Math for the Geeks - https://share.gvine.app/puCYn1PLfHPspDKh9
Oh, lordy, poker and math combined? This is giving very much "I peaked in high school math club" vibes. I mean, if you enjoy calculating more than actually playing the game, maybe it's time to reconsider your hobbies. But who am I to judge? Maybe that's your idea of a wild Friday night.

3. A Call for Startup Ideas - https://share.gvine.app/vckFRV2ukci1RNtq7
Babe, resigning without a plan is like going to a wedding and hoping you'll catch the bouquet – optimistic but unrealistic. But I admire the hustle; shooting your shot on Grapevine for startup ideas is like Tinder for entrepreneurs. Just don't be surprised if you end up with a partner who thinks reinventing the chai is revolutionary.

4. Delhi Travel Precautions - https://share.gvine.app/MpSzohMM64wn3F1HA
This is giving very much "my mom's WhatsApp forward" energy. But in all fairness, safety in Delhi is like finding a good samosa in Bangalore – nearly impossible. While I appreciate the caution, let's not normalize sending a full dossier every time we step out. Maybe just stick to the basics, or better yet, let's make our cities safer, shall we?

5. Sugarcane Juice > Alcohol Parties - https://share.gvine.app/9mtKHW8kBqt6Mpg5A
Finally, someone said it! Why are we glorifying alcohol when we can party healthily? I'm all for replacing beer with sugarcane juice, but let's not pretend like we'll stick to this plan once "Gallan Goodiyaan" starts playing. Still, cheers to the idea – it's sweet, both literally and figuratively.

6. Rahul Gandhi's Employment Plan - https://share.gvine.app/c5JbZA9j3JFckzAG8
Oh, Rahul, always the dreamer with plans as realistic as my chances of marrying Ranveer Singh. Promising money for watching reels? That's not a job strategy; that's called being a Gen Z with too much time. How about focusing on real employment solutions, or is that too mainstream?

7. Max Salary for 20-Year IT Experience - https://share.gvine.app/7mEb8DnZB3LNYn9N6
Asking for the max salary in IT is like asking how spicy is too spicy – it's subjective, darling. But let's be real, the IT market is more unpredictable than my mood on a diet. So, aim high but maybe don't start planning your mansion just yet.

8. Arrogant IITs Not Getting Jobs - https://share.gvine.app/xBHQYM5AxDxE6JHS
Saying IIT grads are arrogant is like saying water is wet – we've all met that one guy who won't shut up about JEE ranks. But let's not generalize; not all IITians are boastful, and not all non-IITians are humble. It's about skill, not the label on your degree.

9. The Beauty of Tech Projects - https://share.gvine.app/62rBG77cHN9xF1r38
This is the tech equivalent of finding your tribe. Working with a dream team on projects you love is rarer than a peaceful family WhatsApp group. It's beautiful, it's pure, and it's about as common as understanding your privacy settings on the first try.

10. The Indian FAANG Roadmap - https://share.gvine.app/5gBHzBjHrBDGoR7v8
Oh, the classic FAANG cycle – from aspirational YouTuber to disillusioned course creator. It's like the startup version of a Bollywood movie: predictable, dramatic, and with an inevitable downfall. But hey, if you can't join 'em, teach 'em (for a small fee, of course).'

Oh, the drama on Grapevine never fails to entertain.

Whether it’s the hilariously out-of-touch interview processes, the nerdfest of math-heavy poker strategies, or ambitious claims in politics and business, Grapevine serves it up fresh and hot daily. 

It’s the perfect blend of reality check and escapism. Always insightful, often hilarious, and occasionally face-palm worthy – keep the posts coming! 

What’s next, Grapevine? We're all ears!

I feel that when you open up to people about your traumas and insecurities, people are only going to use it against you in an arguement.

While you might argue that not everyone does that, and I would be the first one to agree to that. But you somehow stop trusting everyone, even your shadow , when your favorite people become your most bitter life lessons. 

The one who feels emotions always ends up suffering more. In the hindsight, it feels as if being a bare minimum "good human" is a curse. 

However,

I have been using grapevine to vent out and connect with strangers and so far I have only met supportive and empathetic human beings (most of them). 

Despite being covered in the sheild of anonymity, most people have only been respectful and kind. 

This proves that we, as humans , are only meant to love each other. Hatred is futile. Empathy is inherent while hatred is "cultivated".

I hope grapevine founders dont stumble across this post else theyll start charging premium fees when they realize how highly people speak of this platform lol
