What do you think about the new changes to GV feed UI?

Recently we shifted from having community pictures and community names at the top of posts to now having users as the focus of the post. What do you think about this change?

P.S 'Upload your own DP' feature dropping soon

The comment UI is really confusing. Instead of creating thread on a thread. Let it all go inone flow. Kinda like Insta. If I click on someone's comment's reply button. Automatically, mention the Id of the person inmy comment. It will make it so much easier to go through.

Ooh quite the contrast, I love this multi threading, full reddit vibes. My only problem is that it's a bit buggy and replies often go to the wrong subthread

Hey folks heard you both out. We will address the thread related problems

Bharatiya, I like the insta approach too but wonder if Insta isn’t quite very good for long conversations

Seems a lot better now. And the different colors for communities looks great. The dp though looks slightly bigger than the text at the top.

Yup it's better now, but I would suggest to not include the feature of 'upload your own DP'. I believe the platform will loose the purpose for what it was meant to be. In the long run, it would become just another social media app, just like how LinkedIn has degraded from professional platform to dating platform 😪. Well it is just my opinion, you can always launch a pilot project first, then see the trend and think about it.

yep lets try it out. If DPs spoil the game. We can track back and revert

It’s an iPhone XR running iOS version 17.6.1. The app often crashes over search page.

UI is quite cluttered, doesn't give a fresh feeling

DP will kill the aura. Grapevine is 🤏this close to becoming a dating app. DP will only fuel the disaster

Reddit kinda comments are best to see. Don't kill this vibe. 🙏🙏

This one is cool as it gives a better context for the post.

Agree.
I really don't want "comment" feature on home especially if that means ultimately it's opening the post (only diff thing is it opens a comment which is I'm not sure how many people uses like How many people add the comment after clicking that "Add to comment" button)

I really really hate multiple colors on home screen like "Ask Grapevineers", "Bangalore", IT etc.. it's so disturbing personally.

I know you guys have previously removed the User names from the homepage & now added them. I personally liked the No username interface, because usernames does create biases. Ultimately it's about what you want tho.

Comment UI is very confusing.. and not so intuitive. Alot of times I'm confuse whether I'm replying to someone or adding a root comment.

One suggestion: If somebody deletes their comment, can you show Comment is deleted instead of actually removing it. To atleast show that there was something here, right now it looks pretty stupid.

Probably best to keep communities in the main feed. We can focus on the users when browsing a specific community or viewing comments on a post.

How GV team decided on the current UX(iOS)?

I am just curious how GV team landed at the current UX after making all those changes - masking identity in feed, smaller font, more empty spaces, removing insights on comment, notifications.

Was this to make it consistent with web des...
