how is grapevine at all similar to discord? discord doesn't have a social feed, was aimed at the gaming community, you can have your own channel, grapevine doesn't support private servers, group audio/video calls, looks more like a semi-professional network targeted at the working audience.

Grapevine and Discord both having topic or interested based groups. All sorts of communications happen on Discord not only gaming. Agree on the part voice and video

Business Analyst

"topic or interest based groups" - yes but dc has customized servers and no social feed as such, current gv model is more similar to reddit than dc 
 "all sorts of communication happens on dc" - yes but dc was initially meant for the gaming audience it is now that it's being widely used for all kinds of communities  
 also you have the concept of server boosting and other server perks in dc unlike gv

Grapevine is more similar to reddit. It can be considered a subset of reddit ig. Discord is similar to reddit with the addition of voice and video calling features.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I understand the concept of this app is to stay anonymous and discuss news related to work and the economy but HEAR ME OUT what if…. 

We have small meet-ups like people who are in the same city who are interested to catch up and do things. Most of the people working in places like BLR / Pune / Mumbai etc.  are more often than not people who come from other places. Freshers don’t really have a circle here to do things with. So if people are interested to unmask themselves and meet up with each other do you think that would be a good idea?

I know this sounds like a cringe or crazy idea but hear me out

Hey Folks, I thought I should do an AMA specially after yesterday’s rumours that I have been laid off from Grapevine - this isn’t true 😂. It is however true that I have been PIPed and have a much reduced role now xD 

To be serious: Happy to answer any Grapevine questions that you may have. Features, ideas, questions on why we do what we do welcome - I’ll answer what I can! 

Cheers!

Currently I am discovering gv. I am loving it. You don't get doxxed(🤞) + you get to chat and converse with others like it's a WhatsApp group. 
Kinda love this. 
Is this just me? or 👀
If so, then what is the idea of social media. To bring more people to a platform or make it a limited area where you don't get to be toxic and making the space enjoyable

Grapevine

I barely open the Discord community now. Really like the app - excited to see how upcoming features and network effects shape it ✨

I saw the founders' posts about hiring for Grapevine. Did you guys raise funds? If not, how is this being funded? How do you plan to monetize? What's next for Grapevine?

Hey Folks, 

As Grapevine enters its second year of being live, we wanted to finish the major overhaul we were building towards over the last few months. 
We've rolled out some big updates today - please do update your app.

Here's some top changes: 

1. Communities: A whole new look to communities on Grapevine, along with new features such as community sort and live member counts (screenshot attached) 
2. UI: A new font, new like (upvote) button and new community icons across the app
3. 100 Private Grapevines: We are proud/happy to share that there's now 100 private company grapevines where verified employees talk amongst each other. Join your company's Grapevine now. 
4. Grapes 2.0: A new definition for Grape rewards coming soon. Grapes 2.0 definition will include more value to users for creating 'chatty' posts and verifying yourselves 
5. Direct Messages: Multiple changes to improve the DM experience on Grapevine. You can also DM anyone from the Grapevine team (including MS) at any time without any Grape-constraints :)
6. Gestures: You can now swipe between screens on Grapevine, you can also swipe left when a post is open to go back to home screen (on iOS)

As always, keep sending us your feedback. We want to make this the best-most helpful professional app that's out there 

P.S coming next week, a 2X faster Grapevine app..

A big new update to Grapevine

Hey folks, update to the latest app to get everything below :)

Grapevine Update: Grapes 2.0, more DMs and more Grapevines

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

Hi Grapeviners

Over the last month or so we announced two massive products that are as big as Grapevine itself:   1. Private Company groups with verification 
2. Salaries on Grapevine 

Thousands of you have since adopted these products, but most importantly, you gave us great feedback and we are working on making these more helpful

Here’s what you can expect from Grapevine in the next few weeks: 

1. Direct Messaging on Grapevine (yes yes, I know at this point everyone seems to be giving up on this xD)
2. V2 Update to Salaries - making it more useful with more data points 
3. Launching verification and company private groups for 100 companies (we will keep doing this where we have enough people)
4. A better feed: We are hoping to show you less of posts you’ve already seen (A common complain with Grapevine)
5. A new approach to communities on Grapevine
6. A feature buff to Polls - making them even more insights rich
7. Better Link type posts - currently links on Grapevine are broken
8. Grapes V2: People will get grapes for creating ‘Chatty posts’ and ‘Deep Polls’ over and above the current definition of Grapes that is just focused on the number of likes you get
9. An Official Grapevine mixer (details soon!)

As always, your feedback and spreading the good word about Grapevine is always appreciated

What can you expect from Grapevine in the next few weeks?

I’ll go first.

To me, it’s all about access. 
Access to authentic ideas.

The best search result you get on Google is high SEO but low authenticity. On LinkedIn, there are so many people but everyone is shilling a course or 1:1 resume reviews. 

Mostly it has become a place which started as vanity signalling 

Like
( I have started a new role…, I have been accepted at …, I have received offers from F, A, N and G and I’m joining G.)  

And now people pushing mindless content with “Agree?” or “Comment Interested”.

Somehow, everyone is truly inauthentic to please a wider audience and say the exact same generic gyaan to maximise engagement.

For now, Grapevine is where people are genuinely themselves and I get to hear interesting things that you get to hear near the coffee machine.

Kinda feels like we’re all a big community where we all contribute and learn new things about the professional landscape around us.

Godspeed Grapevine. 🚀

Hola Grapeviners! I would love to know why are you on the platform?

Have your say guys, which app is better and why?

Senior Consultant

Why does this community work? 
Or should I ask, does it really work? 
Why do people post on it? 
It could have been just another subreddit of anonymity was the only factor playing here. 
Do you guys crave for grapes (currency)?
What makes you come back and open this app time and again?
Just trying to understand the community psychology here.

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

What's grapevine's DAU?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hi @Grapevine team and Community marketing enthusiast who have worked on 0-1/1-10, We are building a community app related to dating and figuring out unpaid marketing channels what will work or not since we don’t have much money to do paid marketing. How did you started grapevine and manage community effects, did you go to paid channels? Do you believe in grow fast or die or growing slow in community apps is also fine since credibility comes with size of community. What are the effective channels we can explore apart from twitter and instagram? 

Members even if you don’t have idea please like the post to get it highlighted it will be great help for us❤️
