We finally cracked it! We built an open-source video editor that turns every edit into code. I got tired of agents: → Losing context → Giving me outputs I couldn’t modify So we flipped it: → Code is the new database.

What this launch shows

The post went out from an account with 8K followers. It was seen 61.2 times over. The median for 5K to 25K followers is 50.8 times, and this sits near it.

It ranks 262 of 479 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1165 of 1981.

Saves led. 6K people bookmarked it, 108.3 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: 192 replies, 62 quotes, 304 reposts. One bookmark for every 0.9 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.

It starts “We finally cracked it”. It carries a 42-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.

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 Friday. Launches posted on a Friday have a median of 880K views in the directory, which makes it the strongest day.

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 giving people something to reply to: the conversation is what carried this one.

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.
