Embeddings were a mistake. We matched OpenAI’s best embedding model on FiQA without using a single embedding. No vector database. No chunking. No re-indexing. Today, we're launching @wondersearchai searcheverything your company ever wrote and find the exact line. @ycombinator

What this launch shows

From an account with 5K followers, this reached 17.8 times the account's own following. The median for under 5K followers is 152.2 times, so this one stayed closer to home than most.

It ranks 488 of 743 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 603K views, at rank 1832 of 2314.

Saves led. 553 people bookmarked it, 67.8 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: 36 replies, 15 quotes, 25 reposts. One bookmark for every 0.6 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.

The first line is “Embeddings were a mistake”. It carries a 41-second video against a directory median of 66 seconds.

Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 537K views in the directory. The copy runs 40 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 Tuesday. Launches posted on a Tuesday have a median of 595K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 647K.

Launching a product on X from a small account covers this: an account with 5K 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.
