What this launch shows
From an account with 16K followers, this reached 166.2 times the account's own following. Accounts in the same band, 5K to 25K followers, reach a median of 46.1 times their following, so this travelled about 3.6 times further than usual for its size.
It ranks 68 of 579 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 4.3 times the median of 603K views.
Saves led. 4K people bookmarked it, 14.7 per 10,000 views against a directory median of 12. A bookmark is a plan to come back, and it tracks signups and demo requests more closely than a like does.
The rest: 379 replies, 228 quotes, 226 reposts. One bookmark for every 0.9 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.
The first line is ādefining a new category: phone-useā. It carries a 46-second video against a directory median of 66 seconds.
Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 537K views in the directory. The copy runs 49 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 Wednesday. Launches posted on a Wednesday have a median of 622K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 647K.
Developer marketing strategy covers this: developers try before they read, so the post has to let them. For the next one, read X analytics explained: 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.
