A bookmark is a plan to come back, and it tracks signups and demo requests more closely than a like does. The rest: 25 replies, 5 quotes, 29 reposts.
The post opens with “today we're launching @polylane for @Cloudflare”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most. It carries a 48-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 44 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 647K views in the directory, which makes it the strongest day.
Attributing signups to a launch covers this: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product. For the next one, read giving people something to reply to: the conversation is what carried this one.
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.
