Hey hey @DaringTrain  
 We are bringing the toggle very soon  
  
 1) For single word/exact queries we do feel normal search is better 
 2) Distill is still early and we're quite excited about what it can do to answer information sourced from several answers on Grapevine, but definitely needs to be made better before it can do justice  
  
 Will be making these changes :)

An unnecessary scroll before I get to the content I actually opened the app for

Maybe put a toggle feature so that all search doesn't need to go through distilling and there can be quicker, more accurate match searches, if that's what the user wants

I love Grapevine's distilling feature the same way I love all the "Good Morning" WhatsApp messages

Pardon me for being so naive here. I want to understand this new type of startup trend.
1. What’s the source of motivation for their employees to stick to their jobs?
2. How do apps like these think of monetizing? There is no ad, no paid feature per say.
3. Grapevine has probably built some kind of a platform. But how is this different from platforms like twitter, facebook or any other social media platform?
4. How much money do you think has been invested into building apps like this?
5. The DAU of this app based on my wild guess must be around 5K. I may be completely wrong here.
6. What according to you is the current valuation of grapevine?
7. Saumil Tripathi, the founder of grapevine is ex-google employee as per his LinkedIn profile. There is no mention of any other any other startup he owns. 
8. Grapevine has a team of 10 employees (as per Saumil’s post a few weeks back)
How do these guys make money?

I’m awestruck by the guys working in grapevine. Building an app of this quality with no monetization in sight!

Pounce on this thread with your thoughts guys!

Grapevine is a free app. How do they run their startup?

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

Software Engineer

Grapevine might be among one of the highest growing apps at-least within Indian currently. 

We have people from all sort of backgrounds, culture, geo locations, interests.

While this app and user base has grown a lot since the inception, it still misses out on some key features. 

In your POV what all the features you would like to add,remove?

[Feature Request Thread] Fetures you would like to have in grapevine?

Staff Engineer

Only drop features. Let's debate on another thread.

Grapevine Features Suggestions.

Point out features that can be worked upon at Grapevine.

I really like grapevine but I mostly surf it on the web, so I just wanted to share few points that would enhance the experience.

1. Dark mode 
2. Make the post open in new tab( i can't see "open in a new tab" option on right click)
3. Get rid of the get the grapevine component on the right side, it can take a small space on the top right or bottom right, it doesn't have to take so much space IMO.

These are all the changes that I would like to see, i just felt it'd be more visible here rather than on google play review 

what are the changes you all would like to see?

Hi guys, if you get a chance to add some features on Grapevine, what would that be?

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 🥲

Why is Grapevine home page loading by default to “sort by popular” posts? 🧐😊

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

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

Wow finally Grapevine is given right swipe feature to exit comments 
Maybe I missed the announcement but glad I rolled it out

Grapevine -Right swipe finally and sliently😀

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

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I was talking to a friend from work who is extremely active on Grapevine and they told me about this new feature on the app.

Apparently, if you are active on Grapevine everyday for 30 days and make 1000 grapes during that time then you get a bottom card asking you to opt in to a more exclusive community of professionals.

All of them meet on a monthly basis across the country, for a fireside chat. Everyone is flown from their base locations and the entire thing end to end is sponsored by Grapevine where you spend no money.

I am extremely certain because I have seen their Instagram stories.

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.

Update on DMs, Search and Feed

Hey folks,
 
Happy friday!
 
What this post is: a place to hang around and chat just about anything - without having a specific topic to discuss.  
Think of it like the watercooler at your office.  
 
Look forward to hearing from you all :)

Daily Watercooler (30th June)

Grapevine lacks engagement - which I believe could kill this app. Which would be sad, given how helpful it can be. What are some of the ways we can help the makers of this app boost engagement?

Feel free to post any idea which you may have. The makers will thank you!

I love Grapevine's distilling feature the same way I love all the "Good Morning" WhatsApp messages
