How Meteoric launched on X
1.2M views, ranked 676 of the 1981 launches we track. Reach and saves both sit close to where the rest of this list sits.
Today, we’re launching Meteoric (YC S26). Our drones clear clouds over solar farms to increase their annual output by 10-30% without using any chemicals. Ultimate target: weaken severe storms and hurricanes.

It starts “Today, we’re launching Meteoric (YC S26)”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most.
It carries an image and no video. 92% of launches in the directory carry a video, so this is the rarer choice, and the few image launches that travelled did it on the strength of the image.
The copy runs 33 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 Friday. Launches posted on a Friday have a median of 880K views in the directory, which makes it the strongest day.
Launching a product on X from a small account covers this: an account with 3K followers has to earn every view from outside its own following. For the next one, read giving people something to reply to: the conversation is what carried this one.
Whether a launch needs a video is the guide for it: 99% of the launches in the directory carry one, and the guide is about when the 1% is the right call. Every launch we track in Robotics is on that vertical's directory page.
