What this launch shows

This launch beat that by 5 times. It ranks 56 of 264 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 3.9 times the median of 688K views.

Saves led. 6K people bookmarked it, 21.6 per 10,000 views against a directory median of 11.7.

A bookmark is a plan to come back, and it tracks signups and demo requests more closely than a like does. The rest: 436 replies, 489 quotes, 1K reposts.

It starts “Small bird, fast wings, Kolibri is here”. It carries a 4-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds.

Videos under 30 seconds have a median of 850K views in the directory. The copy runs 35 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41.

There is a link in the body, which costs a post some reach and buys it a place to send people. It went out on a Saturday. Launches posted on a Saturday have a median of 524K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.

Attributing signups to a launch covers this: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product. For the next one, read what viral AI launches share: model launches are the largest category in the directory and travel on the demo.

X analytics explained is the guide for it: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size. Every launch we track in Frontier Lab is on that vertical's directory page.
