What this launch shows
The post went out from an account with 27K followers. It was seen 4.2 times over. For 25K to 100K followers the usual multiple is 20.9, so the ranking model showed this to fewer strangers than it shows most launches.
It ranks 230 of 264 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1558 of 1981.
Saves led. 749 people bookmarked it, 66.8 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: 20 replies, 23 quotes, 110 reposts. One bookmark for every 1.2 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.
It starts “Introducing Silico: the platform for building AI models with the precision of written software”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory. It carries a 39-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 40 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 Thursday. Launches posted on a Thursday have a median of 724K 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 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.
