What this launch shows
The post went out from an account with 12K followers. It was seen 119 times over. For 5K to 25K followers the median reach is 50.8 times the following.
This launch beat that by 2.3 times. It ranks 129 of 479 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 2.1 times the median of 688K views.
Saves led. 10K people bookmarked it, 72.5 per 10,000 views against a directory median of 11.7. A bookmark is a plan to come back, and it tracks signups and demo requests more closely than a like does.
The rest: 229 replies, 211 quotes, 662 reposts. One bookmark for every 0.7 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.
It starts “Introducing Canvas UI, the first ever html-in-canvas component library”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory. It carries a 49-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 603K views in the directory.
The copy runs 35 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.
