What this launch shows

The post went out from an account with 59K followers. It was seen 47.8 times over. For 25K to 100K followers the median reach is 20.9 times the following.

This launch beat that by 2.3 times. It ranks 53 of 264 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 4.1 times the median of 688K views.

Quote posts led, 546 of them at 1.9 per 10,000 views against a median of 1.3.

People were adding their own take, which is how a launch gets argued about and carried into audiences the account does not have. Bookmarks: 2K. Reposts: 931.

It starts “Warp is now open-source”. It carries a 4:00 video against a directory median of 65 seconds.

Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 651K views in the directory. The copy runs 5 words, shorter than 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 651K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.

Developer marketing strategy covers this: developers try before they read, so the post has to let them. For the next one, read X analytics explained: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size. Every launch we track in Developer Tool is on that vertical's directory page.
