What this launch shows

Smallest AI posted this from an account with 10K followers and reached 3.4 times that many people. Accounts of that size usually reach 50.8 times their following.

This one did not get far past the people who already followed it. It ranks 427 of 479 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1777 of 1981.

Saves led. 231 people bookmarked it, 70.3 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: 21 replies, 1 quotes, 20 reposts. One bookmark for every 1 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.

The post opens with “Lightning v3.1 Pro is the most human TTS ever built”. It carries a 18-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds.

Videos under 30 seconds have a median of 850K views in the directory. The copy runs 49 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 Sunday. Launches posted on a Sunday have a median of 526K 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.
