How it compares
A launch means nothing against no one. These are the launches it is actually comparable to, and where this one sits among them.
| Compared with | Launches | Median views | This one | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Developer tools launches from accounts 5K to 25K followers | 131 | 360K | 0.1x | 110 |
| Product release the same kind of announcement | 1150 | 566K | 0.1x | 964 |

What this launch shows
The post went out from an account with 6K followers. It was seen 8.7 times over. For 5K to 25K followers the usual multiple is 46.1, so the ranking model showed this to fewer strangers than it shows most launches.
It ranks 490 of 579 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 603K views, at rank 1958 of 2314.
Saves led. 577 people bookmarked it, 115.3 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: 35 replies, 12 quotes, 47 reposts. One bookmark for every 1.2 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.
It starts “Introducing Rivet 3.0 (preview)”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory. It carries a 1:38 video against a directory median of 66 seconds. Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 590K views in the directory.
The copy runs 39 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 567K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 647K.
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.
