This launch beat that by 3 times. It ranks 384 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 1.3 times the median of 688K views.

Quote posts led, 147 of them at 1.6 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: 487. Reposts: 80. One bookmark for every 1 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.

It starts “A truly standout website costs tens of thousands of dollars in design”. It carries a 31-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 49 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 Tuesday. Launches posted on a Tuesday have a median of 651K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
