What this launch shows
The post went out from an account with 486K followers. It was seen 1.7 times over. For over 100K followers the usual multiple is 2.4, so the ranking model showed this to fewer strangers than it shows most launches.
It ranks 410 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 1.2 times the median of 688K views.
Likes led, 4K at 48.9 per 10,000 views against a median of 26.8, with the heavier signals closer to usual: 602 bookmarks, 228 replies, 167 quotes. A like is a reaction.
The post was enjoyed more than it was kept. One bookmark for every 6.5 likes is a low ratio for a launch, and reads as entertainment more than intent.
It starts “Cursor is now on iPad”. It carries a 28-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 20 words, shorter than 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.
Giving people something to reply to covers this: the conversation is what carried this one. For the next one, read developer marketing strategy: developers try before they read, so the post has to let them.
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.
