I’m 16 and just finished building an app to stop endless scrolling. A few months ago, I realized how much time I was losing on short-form content… so I built a solution. Meet YScroll. Launching soon

A repost is an endorsement without a comment, and a launch with an unusual repost rate was being passed along on purpose. Bookmarks: 4K. Replies: 723.

The post opens with “I’m 16 and just finished building an app to stop endless scrolling”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most. It carries a 2:40 video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 651K views in the directory.

The copy runs 37 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 618K 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.

X analytics explained is the guide for it: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size. Every launch we track in Consumer AI is on that vertical's directory page.
