The post opens with “You can now mod Claude Code”. It carries a 1:12 video against a directory median of 65 seconds.

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.

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.
