Grapeviners, which app/website do you use to get your news daily?

Founder

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

That’s it. I haven’t found a news app which is so freaking on point. It’s like they say, you won’t know what greatness is until you see it. 

The options to read news in different format 🤌🏾

Grapevine news is just f*cking lovely!

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

Grapevine I like the new update

While its sad to see all those layoffs happening all over the IT sector, its nice to see a strong community of grapeviners providing news and updates way ahead of mainstream media!

Gravevine community providing news way ahead of mainstream news apps🫡

What are your favourite mobile app for general, business, startup, tech news? Indian and international news?
I use Inshorts and The Hindi, others apps are random.

Also podcasts which give a daily/weekly brief recs are helpful too! 

Thanks in advance!

Working like a charm, interface is hot!! 🔥 

But DM bug still there 😔

Grapevine team, love the updated app

I have been on grapevine for some months now and this is the best community building app I have ever seen I can talk my heart out and the people here actually come out to support and share their journey and experiences as well. Hats off to the founder who has made grapevine

Love grapevine. This is the best community I have found to actually talk my heart out, it’s like grapevine and the people who are using grapevine have become my go-to people when it comes to sharing my life and career or anything.

Folks, how do you stay informed about current events without getting overwhelmed? Whats an app or channel u use to consume news?

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

I am updated daily on news when I don't have the time to read it
My conversations with people in and outside office has improved thanks to these interesting news pieces
And most importantly, they are not heavy. Simple and even funny titles and memes.

Wish we had these in school, I would have been much better and informed person 😪

NewsAnchor @ Grapevine thank you for the updates everyday

Growth Manager

This is definitely going to change how people read the news.

Thank You for building this.

GV Team Appreciation Post

Software Test - QA

Welcome to Gadgets & Apps's Private Community

This doesn't look like news in any sense.. more like a promotional ad for either the boys or the district.

But they haven't mentioned if the news is sponsored by anyone 


I don't have any personal grudge against any of them but I have seen a bunch of these examples had this question in mind 🤔 

Does InShorts accept 'paid news' as well?

Paid News in InShorts?

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.

[Long Post] I think I understand why Grapevine works well.

Hey Folks!

Many of you asked, so we’d immediately started working on it. 2 months have passed since, and Grapevine on Web is finally ready :) 

Here’s the link: https://grapevine.in (grapevine dot in)

Grapevine web can help you: 
- Browse Grapevine while at work on your laptop 😏 
- Write deeper comments and posts from your keyboards ⌨️

We will keep adding more features to the web app. But for now - all the basic things should be working! 

As always, all your feedback is super welcome!

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

I saw a lot of posts on Grapevine lately about the new news feature. I even saw grapevine news being better than shorts, which is a very huge thing. Congrats to the team for pulling it off.

I am very eager to try it out, but I have been in queue for a very long time. Maybe add "People before you" for making the wait more interesting.

All the very best for the team for making this app better than ever!

Heard great things about the grapevine news but still in queue

Cybersecurity

The number of rants I have on this platform, had they been anywhere else (social media or real life), I would have definitely lost my job, friends, and followers. 

Grateful for Grapevine 🍇

Loving the early access to news. Great work Grapevine team 🚀
