Introducing Projects, a new way of working in Cursor. Rather than creating a chat for every task, you work with a coordinator agent in a single, persistent thread. Like @bot, your agent is always on, proactively manages work with subagents, and improves over time.

The post opens with “Introducing Projects, a new way of working in Cursor”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory. It carries a 1:34 video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 651K views in the directory.
The copy runs 45 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 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 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.
