What this launch shows
From an account with 2K followers, this reached 282.6 times the account's own following. Accounts in the same band, under 5K followers, reach a median of 161.4 times their following, so this travelled about 1.8 times further than usual for its size.
It ranks 211 of 627 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1140 of 1981.
Replies led. 370 of them, 6.9 per 10,000 views against a median of 2.3. The post started a conversation, and the ranking model pays for conversation with reach in the hours after.
Bookmarks came in at 2K, reposts at 90. One bookmark for every 0.8 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.
The first line is “We just killed OpenRouter”. It carries a 1:20 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 47 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 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 2K 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.
Giving people something to reply to is the guide for it: the conversation is what carried this one. Every launch we track in Developer Tool is on that vertical's directory page.
