Today, we’re opening @sunapp_ai to the public. We’ve been building this not so quietly during @a16z @speedrun. Audio used to be something you search for. Now, you generate it. Podcasts. Audiobooks. Courses. Any topic. Any length. Ask questions as you listen. And if you don’t
How it compares

What this launch shows
The post went out from an account with 675 followers. It was seen 679.6 times over. For under 5K followers the median reach is 161.4 times the following.
This launch beat that by 4.2 times. It ranks 231 of 627 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1194 of 1981.
Every response ran below the directory's usual rate: 157 bookmarks, 63 replies, 3 quotes and 22 reposts against 284 likes. The post was seen more than it was acted on, which is common for a launch that reaches past the people who care about the category.
It starts “Today, we’re opening @sunapp_ai to the public”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most. It carries a 57-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 46 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 Thursday. Launches posted on a Thursday have a median of 724K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
Launching a product on X from a small account covers this: an account with 675 followers has to earn every view from outside its own following.
