What this launch shows

The post went out from an account with 123K followers. It was seen 2 times over. The median for over 100K followers is 2.4 times, and this sits near it.

It ranks 535 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1364 of 1981.

Quote posts led, 99 of them at 4 per 10,000 views against a median of 1.3.

People were adding their own take, which is how a launch gets argued about and carried into audiences the account does not have. Bookmarks: 118. Reposts: 87.

It starts “Introducing Commenting in Bolt”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory. It carries a 17-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 40 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41.

The body carries a link, so the post had somewhere to send the reader and paid a little reach for it. It went out on a Wednesday. Launches posted on a Wednesday have a median of 721K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.

Giving people something to reply to covers this: the conversation is what carried this one. For the next one, read developer marketing strategy: developers try before they read, so the post has to let them.

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