What this launch shows

This one did 5.1 times that. It ranks 71 of 479 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 3.3 times the median of 688K views.
Every response ran below the directory's usual rate: 2K bookmarks, 233 replies, 128 quotes and 370 reposts against 2K likes.
The post was seen more than it was acted on, which is common for a launch that reaches past the people who care about the category. One bookmark for every 1 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.
The post opens with “Introducing HydraDB”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory. It carries a 1:18 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 46 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.
Developer marketing strategy covers this: developers try before they read, so the post has to let them. For the next one, read virality without conversion: reach that outruns response is the pattern this guide is about.
X analytics explained is the guide for it: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size. Every launch we track in Developer Tool is on that vertical's directory page.
