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..

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

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: https://calendly.com/michaelscott-/gvine-catchup Disclaimer: This WILL NOT reveal your on-platform identity to the Grapevine team. We won't be asking you to mention your username or any other personal details on this call. Trust us on that!

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

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, 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 🍻
