[Feedback] How can we improve Grapevine
Hey Folks,
We recently launched LOTS of new features:
- Nested Comments and Collapsible comments
- New Feed design
- New Communities
- Discover More (Gives you more similar posts)
- Newer Fonts
- Color adjustments to light and dark mode
Lots of other smaller things here and there as well.
I'd love your feedback on any thing that we can do to improve your GV experience
P.S we are also going to launch 3 'very big' feartures within the next 6 weeks, so do stay tuned for that.

Bugs:
- Everytime we comment, the app is asking me to turn on notifications. It's annoying.
- Clicking on comment opens up the Share window.
(Kindly fix these, it's ruining the user experience for me)
Features:
- Option to edit a post and comment.
- Option to simply hide a post since it's being shown repeatedly on the feed.
- Option to add two or more images in a post.
- Option to edit our profile avatar (pretty please 🙏🏻)
Thanks so much @MrRobot1992 !
Solving Bugs 1 and 2 ASAP
As for features. 3 of the 4 features you mentioned will come within the next few weeks. I won't tell you which xD xD
One feature that I'd like to be added is -
"Searching posts within a community."
Right now, if I'm not wrong , the search indexes the whole of grapevine. I'd like it if it just showed the results from a particular community I want.
@BarrenPizza Search within communities will launch in September for sure
Hiring will be one new feature?
Share any screenshots in this thread to make it easier for us to see what's not good :/
A few things -
- If I delete a comment, it will get removed from the post, but remains in the history of comments and notifications.
- Please add the Readers community.
- Sometimes spacing would work, and most of the times when I post, the white lines would get auto-removed after posting. This literally messes up the formatting, and it looks like a long paragraph which is not very engaging.
Notification from a message just shows up as username and the inflated avatar. I want to know what the context is from notification itself, at least show some part of the message.
All features are good.
4 especially, long pending.
1 more feature, if it's already in your To Do List
Follow user, so if I like someone's post a lot! I should get notified once s(he) post.
That doesn't mean I want to see the full timeline, that's debatable!
Also if photo quality can be restored as it's getting degraded.
Short Video may be 10s can be good not more than that, let's reduce the attention span further and might help when u monetise GV down the line
But applause, so far you guys have came.
DM speed loading like a snail to Agni 6 speed.
Photos and Gifs in comments.
Ratings over Play store improved.
Ideas like marketing over same persona platform clicked on.
Happy to see the slow and sustainable success.
Keep growing 💗 💗 💗
@Sherlock007 love it!
Have noted down everything you just mentioned.
We are. thinking of the follow feature in the form of something called 'public profiles' Photo quality being solved in next release We are not thinking of adding video at the moment, want to really succeed with text and images only for now. Video is an obvious 'engagement' loop that we want to try later.
@Micheal_Scott NSFW filter for explicit visuals and images as well as a trigger warning before opening up a post.
What kind of trigger warnings do you need? What kind of posts usually bother you?
There have been times when people unintentionally post a picture which might trigger a few users for instance, I recently saw a picture of a boy who got electrocuted outside his building. OP blatantly posted the picture along with the saddening news. I am pretty sure instances such as these might trigger a few users.
