How it compares
A launch means nothing against no one. These are the launches it is actually comparable to, and where this one sits among them.
| Compared with | Launches | Median views | This one | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Developer tools launches from accounts 25K to 100K followers | 76 | 565K | 0.8x | 42 |
| Product release the same kind of announcement | 1150 | 566K | 0.8x | 632 |

What this launch shows
Firecrawl posted this from an account with 95K followers and reached 4.7 times that many people. Accounts of that size usually reach 17.1 times their following.
This one did not get far past the people who already followed it. It ranks 201 of 314 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 603K views, at rank 1308 of 2314.
Saves led. 4K people bookmarked it, 100.1 per 10,000 views against a directory median of 12. A bookmark is a plan to come back, and it tracks signups and demo requests more closely than a like does.
The rest: 102 replies, 51 quotes, 138 reposts. One bookmark for every 0.5 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.
The post opens with “Introducing the free Government & Legal Index for ChatGPT & Claude”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory. It carries a 29-second video against a directory median of 66 seconds. Videos under 30 seconds have a median of 783K views in the directory.
The copy runs 43 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 631K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 647K.
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.
