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 Wednesday. Launches posted on a Wednesday have a median of 721K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
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 what viral AI launches share: model launches are the largest category in the directory and travel on the demo.
Developer marketing strategy is the guide for it: developers try before they read, so the post has to let them. This launch sits in the Developer Tool and Frontier Lab directories.
