What this launch shows

ArkenOS posted this from an account with 12K followers and reached 3.5 times that many people. Accounts of that size usually reach 46.1 times their following.

This one did not get far past the people who already followed it. It ranks 500 of 579 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 603K views, at rank 1997 of 2314.

Saves led. 800 people bookmarked it, 190.6 per 10,000 views against a directory median of 12. A bookmark is a plan to come back, and it tracks signups and demo requests more closely than a like does.

The rest: 43 replies, 5 quotes, 74 reposts. One bookmark for every 0.8 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.

The post opens with “Introducing Optimus-1, the first swarm harness for autonomous research”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory. It carries a 56-second video against a directory median of 66 seconds. Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 537K views in the directory.

The copy runs 40 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 Monday. Launches posted on a Monday have a median of 567K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 647K.

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 giving people something to reply to: the conversation is what carried this one.
