New in Claude Code: your sessions can now message each other. Instead of having to re-explain yourself in another session, you can now tell Claude to do it. It sends a summary (not your history or files), and the other session picks it up mid-task.

The post opens with “New in Claude Code: your sessions can now message each other”. It carries a 16-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 46 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 Friday. Launches posted on a Friday have a median of 880K views in the directory, which makes it the strongest day.
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.
Developer marketing strategy is the guide for it: developers try before they read, so the post has to let them. Every launch we track in Developer Tool is on that vertical's directory page.
