What this launch shows

From an account with 86K followers, this reached 1.2 times the account's own following. The median for 25K to 100K followers is 20.9 times, so this one stayed closer to home than most.

It ranks 232 of 264 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1583 of 1981.

Saves led. 339 people bookmarked it, 32.9 per 10,000 views against a directory median of 11.7.

A bookmark is a plan to come back, and it tracks signups and demo requests more closely than a like does. The rest: 16 replies, 29 quotes, 63 reposts.

The first line is “Introducing the Rive CLI and RML”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory. It carries a 31-second 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 38 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 Thursday. Launches posted on a Thursday have a median of 724K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.

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.
