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 | 136 | 363K | 1.6x | 50 |
| Product release the same kind of announcement | 1180 | 563K | 1.1x | 572 |
| 5K to 25K followers accounts of a similar size | 597 | 517K | 1.1x | 274 |

What this launch shows
terminal-mac posted this from an account with 5K followers and reached 115.9 times that many people. The usual multiple for 5K to 25K followers is 46.1.
This one did 2.5 times that. It ranks 274 of 597 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 595K views, at rank 1190 of 2367.
Saves led. 7K people bookmarked it, 121.4 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: 308 replies, 189 quotes, 441 reposts. One bookmark for every 0.9 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.
The post opens with “Introducing terminal-mac”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory. It carries a 43-second video against a directory median of 66 seconds. Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 532K views in the directory.
The copy runs 44 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 Tuesday. Launches posted on a Tuesday have a median of 586K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 650K.
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.
