Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: Founders, marketers and operators

Very exciting. You can now do the wild stuff Claude Code can locally on your computer right within Claude Desktop. Huge. Will unlock the power of Claude Code to so many more people. (And very cool they linked to my post on CC in their announcement, thanks team @AnthropicAI)
