What this launch shows
The post went out from an account with 762K followers and was seen by fewer people than follow the account. The median for over 100K followers is 2.4 times, so this one stayed closer to home than most.
It ranks 430 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 1.1 times the median of 688K views.
Likes led, 7K at 91.8 per 10,000 views against a median of 26.8, with the heavier signals closer to usual: 2K bookmarks, 225 replies, 162 quotes. A like is a reaction. The post was enjoyed more than it was kept.
The first line is “Monthly API credits are now available on Max and Team plans: $100 on Max 5x, $200 on Max…”.
It carries no media, which leaves the ranking model nothing to hold a reader with past the first line. 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 Thursday. Launches posted on a Thursday have a median of 724K 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 giving people something to reply to: the conversation is what carried this one.
Whether a launch needs a video is the guide for it: 99% of the launches in the directory carry one, and the guide is about when the 1% is the right call. Every launch we track in Developer Tool is on that vertical's directory page.
