I personally don't like the concept of categories, I think the concept of tagging a category in the post might work better.

it's because one post might belong to the multiple categories

Senior Software Engineer

Also the current way of counting grapes doesn't really show actual engagement. Number comments, clicks, views are not taken into consideration.

-Programmatic SEO (Reddit like seo) 
 -Salaries beta not getting traction (only 974 salaries, pedigree to update salary needs to be changed) 
 -When I write a comment, and I don’t post it history is not maintained ( not sure how tough this is to achieve) 
 -Grapevine Mixer :D  
 -Fishbowl like stan accounts on social media.

Do you know any programmatic SEO experts? Or are you one?

 Will take GV to next level🤣

@Thomas_Shelby hahaha this is a crack idea. Some day maybe!

Security Engineer

- Quality of pictures uploaded (HD becomes 480p) 
 - Storage of messages in a DM (I could see a max. of 50-70 msgs based on the size of the text) 
 - Repetitive notifications from private community for the same post

@Rhombus massive uplift to pictures coming soon
Will look into the DM storage situation
Will solve the repetitive post problem sorry!

Can you try to select the right BYJUs again from the profile menu once please

Tried .. errors out 
 It says changing the company name is not allowed temporarily after joining company private feed

Video uploads 
 Badge for users according to their grapes (more like tiers) 
 Company review similar to salaries.

There are multiple posts with the same. You can take reference from them.

@CharSoBees will do! This can be used by any one who hasn't chimed in before

I meant to say you can include those posts as well. Thanks for considering.

We should be able to upload more than 1 photos while making a post. Atleast 2.

Machine Learning Engineer

Individual Salary Progression Inputs for improving progression rather than relying on current salary data.  
 For eg - Year 1, SDE 1 , X  
 Year 5, SDE 3, 3x

Can still work on 
 -App crashes 
 -Upload image quality 
 -same posts in multiple categories 
 -the lag between when you click post and then it gets posted. 
 Images in DMs(I hope that doesn't blowup your cloud costs)

Founder

Ability to edit posts and comments for a few minutes after posting, in order to be able to correct typos or grammar mistakes.

Staff Engineer

Feed discovery needs to be better - either the content isn’t there yet or the discovery is too repetitive. 
 Search is massive failure for now. Totally irrelevant or extremely old posts come in search and lot of relevant posts get missed.

Add a follow icon for the grapeviners. Like twitter.

Move notification button to bot nav nav . Makes it easy to reach

6 months cooling period on changing work company name in GV is not good. It should be changed basis OTP Auth to new work email.

Post bookmarks and a filter on salary added date in the graphs

Club searches using AI? Ex - See multiple posts of culture at x company. Bring all of them together

Job board & Not exactly product related maybe but an “Veterans/Expert Corner” would be great. Get folks who have made it as execs, founders, investors to actively contribute to a sub-community, make posts, share advice. Maybe can be easily executed by adding a badge to their accounts if they are already on grapevine (so that they can choose to stay anonymous).  
  
 I am not sure how these experts could be convinced to contribute, but would add value to your users who are mostly young and trying to figure out their career.

Yeah well, I had a bunch of ideas in terms of design. But I never heard back from the team after applying. :)

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

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:

Chit Chat with Grapevine Team

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

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

What can you expect from Grapevine in the next few weeks?

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

If you had a chance to lead roadmap for grapevine, what features would you suggest the team to build for growth, engagement and retention?

Product Manager

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

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

Please do chime in with suggestions :)

What new communities on Grapevine do you want?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hi @Grapevine team and Community marketing enthusiast who have worked on 0-1/1-10, We are building a community app related to dating and figuring out unpaid marketing channels what will work or not since we don’t have much money to do paid marketing. How did you started grapevine and manage community effects, did you go to paid channels? Do you believe in grow fast or die or growing slow in community apps is also fine since credibility comes with size of community. What are the effective channels we can explore apart from twitter and instagram? 

Members even if you don’t have idea please like the post to get it highlighted it will be great help for us❤️

A question to Grapevine Founder/team

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!

[November Update] A new look for Grapevine

Hey folks, help me out a little here please.
