Grapevine app update!

Hey Folks,

We've rolled out some big updates today - please do update your app.

Here's some top changes:

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

Hey hey hey, one of the oldest GV users here. Was busy for a few months with life, job, and family. 

This app and content seems to have really evolved. Seeing lots of new usernames and discussions. 

What do people usually talk about here these days?

Coming to Grapevine after a long time

Happy Friday folks! 

We have a new update with lots of small (hopefully fun) features. Please update your app to version 24 to check these out: 

1. Grapes on Grapevine: Tap on any person’s user name to see how many grapes they have
2. Trending Posts for you: Across the app you will now see personalised recommendations for popular posts that you may have missed earlier 
3. GIFs in comments: Let’s see if y’all have a strong GIF game 
4. YOE in Salary Cards: much requested update. Now you can see YOE across salary cards 
5. Feed: A new faster and smoother feed experience 
6. Bug bashing: The infinite post repeat error is solved. The image upload error is also solved along with other minor bug fixes

This is not all. We wanted to rollout a few more things this week but now they're delayed to next. Sorry :/ 

As always, feedback and ideas are welcome! 🙌🏻

Grapes on Grapevine, GIFs, a smoother feed, and more..

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

Grapevine Update: Insights, Feed, Polls, and more

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 🥲

A better reading and replying experience on Grapevine

Have you got notifications to old posts of yours?

Fun seeing oneself legit grow on this platform

Found my old posts on Discover More and fell in love with how cute I wrote!

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

Grapevine I like the new update

Last week, I was wondering how long has it been for me since I joined Grapevine. Scrolling through OTPs, I realized that the first time I "may" have joined the app is exactly one year ago since today.

It has been a hell of a ride. I have had insane conversations with some of the best minds in this country. It also made me appreciate how the same people who will be discussing Finance in one post also end up talking about Nietzsche in another post. 

I have always felt that we all have great stories to share in our lives. Grapevine has always been a place where smart people in this country have contributed to the collective knowledge here. 

Lastly, there are always a ton of gloomy folks around you, they are doomsayers. That is always because people in general are more optimistic about their future and that remains a mainstream emotion. Which means that the cost of being wrong is low and the praise for being right is high when you are negative all the time as it is a contrarian take.

But let me tell you the most important thing, India is becoming big. No matter what may come our way. People will crib about things as they should, but don't let that deter you from building in India and staying in India. There is a ton of money to be made and you should aim to be on the right side of history.

Exactly 1 year ago, I joined Grapevine. Some thoughts and musings.

Hey Everyone,

A few updates from the Grapevine team:

Bookmarks
Bookmarks are now available across every post on Grapevine. Add a bookmark and read the post later in your 'profile' page within the app. Profile page is available in the Hamburger menu (☰) from the top left

Sort comments
You can now sort comments by popular, newest first and oldest first across all posts on Grapevine

Undefined error/bug
We are still working on fixing the 'Undefined' error that many of you are facing. We are trying our best to fix it. But in the short term, we've seen that the bug gets solved if you uninstall and then install the app again. We know this sucks, and we're really sorry

P.S you may also have seen a Blue tick mark on my profile. Something exciting coming soon. But please don't worry, unlike other platforms it won’t be paid here :)

Grapevine update: Bookmarks, Comments and more

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Hey Folks, 

Happy Friday! 
Hope the week was awesome for most of you and bearable for others. 

Grapevine had about over 600 posts in the last week. Thought of sharing some of the best ones to make for a nice weekend reading.

Here’s a recap of the best moments on Grapevine: 

1) Linkedin Gyaanis should be Banned by @AvgRasmalaiEnjoyer : Some of the funniest stuff we read this week, some harsh truth bombs were dropped all over 💣
https://share.gvine.app/9NpDNLwGMsQXbwhy9


2) Is rags to riches real ? Anyone on Grapevine changed his financial status drastically ? by @RashOrient64 : The most heart warming comment section ever, some of the most inspiring stories of growth and people who have made it in their own way 📈
https://share.gvine.app/EpFH97nngeJMtL1f6 


3) Comment “Overpaid” and get some gyaan by @salt : @salt does it again with the meme of the week 🥴
https://share.gvine.app/i16Rgyqt2htruBUU6

4) Recruiters are Wylin by @BlandMetal88 : Nothing much to see here folks, the best of Linkedin Cringe continues to be pretty cringy 😬
https://share.gvine.app/MkNJUEDf9Yb5yQc18


5) Where are you working from? by @ElomDusk himself : Top Poll of the Week, almost 76% of the users are either purely working from home or hybrid - I think this might be why we see continued activity on Grapevine 🤣
https://share.gvine.app/UFFRTPKF3M9APbuD9


There’s more, but I’m calling it a week. Feel free to share your best moments in the comments below or add if I ended up missing something major 🙈
Have a great weekend everyone! :)

My Favorite Posts this Week

@Micheal_Scott Petition to build a Readers Digest feature where the best posts of the week are curated by the Grapevine team. 
  
 Hit “❤️” button, if you think it’s a good idea.

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.
