The app is super basic, is anyone even looking at issues ?

General experience just sucks. Not to mention the random bugs with the feed and when you load the app for the first time. Do the founders not give a shit anymore?

Hey folks, your favourite office manager here! I wanted to share a few small updates: 1. ‘You’ Tab: Look to the bottom right of the app and you will now see the ‘You’ tab. This is your PRIVATE home for all your profile info, your past comments, past posts and bookmarks. Please note: This tab is ONLY visible to you. No one can ever see your past comments/post history on Grapevine. Not even if they ‘Search’ for your user name. Privacy is always a top priority here 🤐 Also try: Changing your user name to something cool like ‘TheExterminator’ and stop being something lame like ‘AverageJoe’ 2. There have been minor bug fixes and small improvements here and there 3. If you continue to face the Undefined bug error. The only solution so far is to reinstall the app. I know this isn’t ideal, but it is what it is :/ As always - keep throwing new ideas at us and we’ll try to build everything we can Lastly, something a lot of you have asked for is launching later this week - something we’ve worked on 8+ weeks to build 😇

I am an Android developer with several years of experience in the industry. Unfortunately, I've noticed a concerning trend in the quality of software, particularly among apps from so-called unicorn startups and top multinational corporations. Many of these apps are riddled with bugs that seem to slip through the QA process. Here are some examples of reproducible issues I've encountered: 1. In Paytm, when navigating to train bookings and accessing the PNR section, attempting to copy the PNR may result in the screen freezing upon scrolling up, with a blank white screen appearing when scrolling down. 2. Within the train module on Paytm, if the application process is terminated, an infinite loader may appear, and returning to the previous screen may lead to a white screen. 3. PhonePe recently addressed a blank screen issue on the payments page when the process was terminated. 4. PhonePe also fixed an issue where an infinite loader appeared when checking UPI balance, especially after the process was terminated on the UPI pin screen and the back button was pressed. 5. YouTube experiences sporadic crashes when the application process is terminated while using YT Shorts. 6. Instagram had countless bug in the past. 7. Reddit backstack management and deeplinks are hell. 8. Hostar has no security. I was able to decompile and make a debug build with code changes with my novice reverse engineering skills. The room database is even not encrypted. It does seem like some companies are conducting testing just for the sake of it. How are the codebases structured for your company? Is it common for companies to produce spaghetti code? Do all companies rely on manual testers. TLDR; what does the codebase look like in your company? Are the tests adequately written, and to what extent?

Recently, I discovered the fold money app and was really impressed by their design and overall look and feel of the product. There are many apps which are catering to a similar use case like fold money: Mint being one of the prime examples! Looking forward to using the app and that's why anyone with an invite code, share your codes

While I get that the app still looks very on brand, can’t help but feel how impractical and unoptimised the homescreen has become. 30% of the first fold used for an illustration nobody can recall, even if they open the app 10 times a day. (You can try recalling now and see what i mean) Minor, but the icons seem to have mixed stroke weights and an unnatural blend of sharp and round corners. Perhaps adding a “check bank balance” button on the first fold will he useful since this is a payment app and all. No point hiding it somewhere else. Currently, the People section precedes the Businesses section. Once a user taps on the down arrow on people, the list expands to multiple folds and it becomes extremely tiresome to scroll all the way down to collapse the section to access the rest of the page. Instead, why not have tabs for People and businesses, side by side. The tab could have a search button within it to easily find contacts. Currently, the search button is all the way on the header and disappears on scroll. Showing photos and business of people is certainly helpful, but why not make a table that has a card that shows the profile pic, the last payment you sent to them, when you sent it and even a CTA for quick pay. Currently one needs two taps to pay someone. Bills can have better prominence somewhere on a difference section and could even use an floating bar type of component that shows up towards the bottom of a screen when bills are due. (Similar to what swiggy uses to show “your food is being prepared”) It might remind a user that certain bills are due in X days And by god use the rest of the page to show the user some stats on how they spent money. I for one would consistently use the app that showed me my spending breakup. Tell user they spent x% more on food this month, compared to last or some such. And throw the offer & promotion section away. Its not 2018. Aint nobody playing games on here either.

I've been trying to actively avoid Social media platforms for the past few years but spending time here feels much more productive and useful compared to most others (bakchodi and comedy is bonus ofc). Anyone else in the same boat? 😂

We are trying to build a Raya competitor of sorts for the Indian market and hope to publish within the next two months and thus are mainly focused on the app store as opposed to Android. How do we get around the 4.3 guidelines which state that: 4.3 Spam Don’t create multiple Bundle IDs of the same app. If your app has different versions for specific locations, sports teams, universities, etc., consider submitting a single app and provide the variations using in-app purchase. Also avoid piling on to a category that is already saturated; the App Store has enough fart, burp, flashlight, fortune telling, dating, drinking games, and Kama Sutra apps, etc. already. We will reject these apps unless they provide a unique, high-quality experience. Spamming the store may lead to your removal from the Apple Developer Program. What is a high quality experience and how tf are dating apps in the same category as Kama Sutra and Fart Apps?? We have many differentiating/unique features in mind but building them now would be a massive time sink especially when we have no users to test them on. We will first publish by the middle of February but really don't want to face a rejection.

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? 

is it happening with others or are you able to comment under any post ? i am just not able to add comments in any of posts, the comment section is not showing post button although i am able to type it behind keyboard and without seeing anything. i think i won't be able to comment on this post too

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.
