What this launch shows

The post went out from an account with 2.7M followers and was seen by fewer people than follow the account. Accounts of that size usually reach 2.4 times their following.

This one did not get far past the people who already followed it. It ranks 563 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1560 of 1981.

Reposts led, 100 at 9 per 10,000 views against a median of 2.5.

A repost is an endorsement without a comment, and a launch with an unusual repost rate was being passed along on purpose. Bookmarks: 152. Replies: 73.

The post opens with β€œπŸ‘‹ Project HydraFusion is now available in the GitHub Copilot app and @code”. It carries a 31-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 42 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41. The body carries a link, so the post had somewhere to send the reader and paid a little reach for it.

It went out on a Wednesday. Launches posted on a Wednesday have a median of 721K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.

Giving people something to reply to covers this: the conversation is what carried this one. For the next one, read why posts from large accounts under-reach: a post seen by fewer people than follow the account was held back by the ranking model.

Developer marketing strategy is the guide for it: developers try before they read, so the post has to let them. Every launch we track in Developer Tool is on that vertical's directory page.
