What this launch shows

The post went out from an account with 122K followers. It was seen 8 times over. For over 100K followers the median reach is 2.4 times the following.

This launch beat that by 3.3 times. It ranks 370 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 1.4 times the median of 688K views.

Quote posts led, 184 of them at 1.9 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: 290. Reposts: 132.

It starts ā€œThere's a whole new way to use skills in Boltā€. It carries a 43-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds.

Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 603K views in the directory. The copy runs 35 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.

Developer marketing strategy covers this: developers try before they read, so the post has to let them. For the next one, read X analytics explained: 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.
