Honest Feedback - Grapevine

Dear Grapevine, I'm not your very active user, nor the most famous. Still I want to share two cents from my side about how I feel with you.

1. I really hate your ever changing nature. If I won't open you for 3 days in a week, I'm sure you would completely change your UI. I'm not saying it's wrong, just saying it's bit too much for me to keep up with you & figuring out everything again & again. And I really don't like it.

2. Unpredictable nature aka Mood swings. I have no solid conclusion about the nature of the app, when I will see Pops & when I won't. Where to find news & where to look for it. It's kinda very confusing. I remember once you tried making Pops in recent & News is Popular.... I mean, what design process was that?? Do you expect me to solve this riddle everytime? I understand you are trying to unclutter the app, but at what cost, making it more confusing?

3. You don't share your feelings. I mean I have joined alot of your communities, for instance, Software Engineers, Bangalore, etc etc.. but honestly I see very few posts on feed. At first I thought maybe people aren't posting enough, but when I opened a community today it seemed like it's you who isn't showing me enough. I felt like you don't trust me enough :/

4. Notifications is not a problem for me. No one ever texts me, nor I text anyone. No one ever replies me, nor I care enough. So I don't see any issue.

5. You are focusing on your career, without proper communication. You know you started Round1, awesome, perfect. I get what you are trying to do. But do you know that I have so little knowledge about it. Maybe terrible GTM, but honestly I have NO CLUE about Round1, not even sure if that's how it should be pronounced. And I've tried to understand, but there's no information page to explain, or just answer my basic question - WHAT IS IT!!! Is it AI interviews, but are they just mock interviews or companies are actually doing something? If yes or no, what are these hiring posts!! I'm ok admitting I'm dumb, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only dumb.

Of course you do have bugs, issues & that's fine. People are being generous here, we know bugs are part of an app. I know you can do better, and I know the userbase of this app is insane. No one talks but everyone uses. At first I thought 200k userbase is just random number, but then I've heard people talking about it irl, those who never speak up in office, sharing what they read here. Toh you definitely do have users, just don't push us away.

Your wellwisher. Paul
