What this launch shows
From an account with 6K followers, this reached 71.8 times the account's own following. That is close to the median for 5K to 25K followers, which is 50.8 times.
It ranks 269 of 479 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1188 of 1981.
The response was thin for the reach: 70 bookmarks, 67 replies, 32 quotes and 34 reposts against 351 likes. Views arrived from people outside the audience the product is for, and they kept scrolling. One bookmark for every 5 likes is a low ratio for a launch, and reads as entertainment more than intent.
The first line is “Three years ago, we started Restate because we felt that building reliable distributed applications was just too hard”. It carries a 2:13 video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 651K views in the directory.
The copy runs 46 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 Wednesday. Launches posted on a Wednesday have a median of 721K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
How to announce a funding round covers this: the round is the news and the post has to turn it into customers and hires. For the next one, read developer marketing strategy: developers try before they read, so the post has to let them.
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.
