The aim of grapevine and the general type of audience they currently have, seems to overlap with that of a reddit user base.. so i guess it makes sense to leverage existing preferences and patterns

I'm here for the hustle. Good luck to you guys.

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

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.

Grapevine January 13th update

Just an appreciation post to the team! Tweaking UI here and there. Looking forward to exciting changes and more adoption ahead. 

P.S: Hopefully the amount of high quality conversations remain out here.

Appreciate the UI changes!

Hey guys, 

With a heavy heart and after 10-11 months of constant work I am shutting my startup down. Thanks for all the love and support.

What happened was I was able to build the product but couldn't raise enough funds to get the required gov. licenses to go live. I did build a demo mode to let people test out what the app was supposed to be and got more than 250+ sign ups.

For everyone who signed up and where asking me for the invite code sorry but please do test out what it was supposed to be. Use invite code- QWERTYUIOP to access the demo mode. All data will be deleted with in the end of this month so no worries.

Thanks again for all the love and support and let's see what I can build tomorrow.

Invite Code - QWERTYUIOP

Manage all your finances in one place, from tracking spends, budgeting & checking your bank balances all in one.

Pocket - Do More With your money

Shutting it down

Hey guys, I am building a personal finance management, essentially FinTech in India ￼ to give users, a smart banking experience without any neobanking bullshit .

Don’t have to open a new bank account to have great features like a Jupiter has. Not selling credits. And great user experience.

The best part to track and manage your finances, I don’t ask for your gmail access or do any SMS scraping so what do you think? ￼

Honest feedback for my startup

I got an update from this app I use for investing in startups. They have launched a mutual fund comparison feature which lets you compare your mutual fund performance with key insights with your friends in a very easy consumable format. 

Shows you XIRR, funds invested, portfolio diversity
Doesn’t show actual amount invested by both! 

Very cool feature! I’m very surprised because I haven’t see this in any mainstream fintech apps.

Really cool mutual fund comparison feature!

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 think we have to shift our startup idea. Not working anymore very low DAU 😞 with 0 engagement but total app downloads 100k+

Startup Shifting 😶

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I really like the fact that now i can browse this app in public. The new UI has hidden the username and the company name. Earlier these were visible and I used to be irritated at not being able to browse through the app

Really like the new UI

Software Developer

There's a new post going viral on Twitter about Slice just copied CashApp's designed almost ripped off the entire content and design from CashApp. 

You can check websites of them both!

Ripped off

Project Manager

UI is shitty but still I use

Great Job on the Web app! Guess I can use less of my phone during office hours. Still waiting on more grapes from the startup world :p

The Web App Looks Slick!

How does this app plan to monetize?

Hello everyone, I'm (20M) new here 
Can anyone tell me how this app works 
(Also looking for people to be friends with 🥹🥹)

Hello

I think it’s completely shit. It looks cool but everything is so difficult to find in it

What do you guys think of cred app UX?

Product Manager

I think something we tend to less appreciate the designs which are simple and to the point like what's app

I have seen lot of other apps like cred, uber, ola etc making it unnecessarily complex & using dark patterns. CRED especially always gets appreciated for innovative/ head turning designs but I feel we need to appreciate lot of simple but well built designs as well

What's App clean and simple UI

Associate Product Manager

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..

The UI looks an awful lot like the Reddit Official App UI XD
