What this launch shows

From an account with 4K followers, this reached 31.5 times the account's own following. The median for under 5K followers is 161.4 times, so this one stayed closer to home than most.

It ranks 374 of 627 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1518 of 1981.

Saves led. 608 people bookmarked it, 47.2 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: 108 replies, 56 quotes, 87 reposts.

The first line is “Today we’re launching WonderSearch (YC F26)”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most. It carries a 38-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 37 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41. The body carries a link, so the post had somewhere to send the reader and paid a little reach for it.

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.

Launching a product on X from a small account covers this: an account with 4K followers has to earn every view from outside its own following.

For the next one, read attributing signups to a launch: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product. Giving people something to reply to is the guide for it: the conversation is what carried this one.
