What this launch shows

From an account with 557 followers, this reached 26.1 times the account's own following. The median for under 5K followers is 161.4 times, so this one stayed closer to home than most.

It ranks 557 of 627 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1861 of 1981.

Saves led. 208 people bookmarked it, 142.9 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: 34 replies, 2 quotes, 39 reposts.

The first line is “Introducing Flock PHP 1.0 beta”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory. It carries a 44-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 Sunday. Launches posted on a Sunday have a median of 526K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.

The waitlist launch guide covers this: the call to action was a queue, and the four days after decide what the queue is worth. For the next one, read launching a product on X from a small account: an account with 557 followers has to earn every view from outside its own following.

Attributing signups to a launch is the guide for it: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product. Every launch we track in Developer Tool is on that vertical's directory page.
