Quick Update from the Grapevine team

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

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

Hey folks, we’ve made tonnes of new changes to Grapevine: 1. A new look for Grapevine 2. A refreshed app logo 3. Link-type posts now look better 4. Image type posts now look smaller and cleaner 5. Lots of new algorithm changes that hopefully send ‘better’ posts to you 6. Lots of new Private Company Communities (more on this soon) 7. Lots of bug fixes As always, looking forward to your feedback and thoughts. P.S the DM feature is finally very close xD Cheers!

Happy Friday Grapeviners, TL;DR: We are launching our biggest product since Grapevine itself. We’ve worked really really hard on this one. Salaries is now live as the ‘middle tab’ on the Grapevine app Why we built this: Getting paid is one of the main reasons why we work, and our goal with Grapevine was always to solve for information asymmetry With this we set out to make a product with the following principles at its core: 1. Make Salary information visual 2. Focus on freshness 3. Bring out the story behind the data 4. Help people assess their own salaries v/s global data Two requests: 1. Please give us feedback on how we can improve 2. Please please please share this with your friends, network and followers Enough of me. Now go check it out :)

Hey Folks, A few updates to Grapevine, so please do update your app from play/app store :) 1. A new slightly redesigned feed. We’ve adjusted font-weights and spacing to make things easier on your eyes. More refinements coming soon 2. Post and Comment Insights: You now get insights on posts and comments where you receive more than 7 likes. This will be a feature which all writers on the app will def appreciate :) 3. A better feed: We are constantly making adjustments to give you a better feed. Efforts such as ‘trending posts for you’ and the upcoming ‘posts you may like’ are efforts in this direction. This is something we want to get better at 4. Results on Polls: You can now see poll results even before you answer them! We can finally lose the popcorn option. Long time pending, I know… 5. Update on Private Feeds: We now have around 2500 verified users using their company’s private feed. IMO this is one of the deepest and most useful products within Grapevine. Or so I hear :) We will launch 25 more companies where we have ‘critical mass’ over the coming 4 weeks! Upcoming - we are very close to: 1. The rollout of DMs on Grapevine (after maybe 1000 users here scolded at us for not making it lol) 2. Rollout of the exciting new Salary Product (middle tab) 3. Grapes 2.0: Updating the Grapes formula to reflect your contribution to the community even more accurately Your patience and feedback is a privilege we do not take lightly! Thanks Grapeviners, and Happy Friday

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.

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.

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..

Thank you for all the love and support over the last few weeks. :) Grapevine is just 5 weeks old and we are a very small team :) But we are trying address feature requests as they come from you all. A few things from us: 1. We recommend you update the app from the play/app store for the best experience 2. As per popular demand - timestamps have now been introduced in the app (available on latest version) 3. New (and hopefully better) algo for the popular feed has been rolled out Lastly, please feel free to drop in your feedback and feature requests in this post. We will try to implement everything we can.

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 🥲
