How it compares
A launch means nothing against no one. These are the launches it is actually comparable to, and where this one sits among them.
| Compared with | Launches | Median views | This one | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Product news the same kind of announcement | 769 | 805K | 0.1x | 657 |
| under 5K followers accounts of a similar size | 627 | 227K | 0.2x | 460 |
| Every launch all of them, for scale | 1981 | 688K | 0.1x | 1692 |
What this launch shows
The post went out from an account with 4K followers. It was seen 13 times over. For under 5K followers the usual multiple is 161.4, so the ranking model showed this to fewer strangers than it shows most launches.
It ranks 460 of 627 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1692 of 1981.
Saves led. 181 people bookmarked it, 33.1 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: 16 replies, 8 quotes, 17 reposts. One bookmark for every 0.7 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.
It starts “Meet Mercury Code”. It carries a 40-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 28 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 4K 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.
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.
