What this launch shows

The post went out from an account with 948 followers. It was seen 516.4 times over. For under 5K followers the median reach is 161.4 times the following.

This launch beat that by 3.2 times. It ranks 222 of 627 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1177 of 1981.

Saves led. 1K people bookmarked it, 22.7 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: 215 replies, 45 quotes, 122 reposts. One bookmark for every 1.1 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.

It starts “Today we’re releasing Adam and Eve, the most human-like AI voices ever built”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most. It carries a 45-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 38 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 Monday. Launches posted on a Monday have a median of 618K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.

Launching a product on X from a small account covers this: an account with 948 followers has to earn every view from outside its own following. For the next one, read attributing signups to a launch: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product.

Giving people something to reply to is the guide for it: the conversation is what carried this one. Every launch we track in Developer Tool is on that vertical's directory page.
