Martin Appelmann audited.
Middle of the pack. Best of it, you show up often enough. Worst of it, too few people are seeing any of it.

Where this score comes from
Out of 100, weighted. Follower count is not a factor, but actually reaching people is. A small account with real conversation can beat a big one that broadcasts, and an account that reaches thousands still gets credit for it.
Reach vs resonance
The most-seen post and the one people actually reacted to are different posts. That gap is where the next win is.
I spent 17.5 million VND (€582 / $665) in Da Nang cafés over 4 months to find the best places to work from. I tracked everything: - WiFi speed - food - AC - time spent & more. Full list here 👇 https://t.co/GDmRaBj5fA #danang #remotework #digitalnomad #cafewithwifi http
I am really new in the hacker community, but I really love it. Everyone is so passionate about building stuff, and everybody share there experience. @robj3d3 @techedlaksh @enjojoyy https://t.co/fzV6xsbnbB
ChadThis one reached 229 against 1.4K, and still pulled 3.9x the reaction rate. The reach on the big one was not the problem. What it said was.
Reach without conversation on the left. Real conversation on the right. Chase the right one and the left one follows.
What this engagement is made of
All 385 reactions across the posts Chad read. Bookmarks are not counted, here or anywhere else in this audit.
Golden hours
When @Exlo7's posts actually get seen, scored on this account's own data. Times in PT. Slots marked playbook are defaults, used where there are not enough posts at that hour to judge it.
The reply game
Replies are the most under-used lever on X. A good one is worth roughly 27x a like, so this is measured, not assumed. Chad reads the most recent page of replies, so the count is a floor, not a lifetime total.
How this compares
Against the median of 45 other accounts Chad has audited. Same measurements, same method.
Voice, according to Chad
You talk in receipts, friend. Exact spends, WiFi speeds, cafe names, no fluff. Casual builder diary energy with short lines, honest shrugs, and digital-nomad hashtags that make it feel like a field log, not a pitch.
What this account is about
The 3 strongest posts, and why they worked

ChadThe 17.5M VND post won on pure utility: a cold specific number plus tracked WiFi/food/AC data pulled 4 replies, 2 bookmarks and 2 reposts because people save lists they can actually use.
Spent $20 on drinks. Got an ad video. Best ROI so far. Thanks to @techopsasia and @techedlaksh for the pickleball tournament. Thanks to @VanpeltVentures for the short video. #buildinpublic #remotework #digitalnomad #pickleball https://t.co/NLoBQBPTkw
ChadThe $20 drinks video hit hardest on likes (19) and earned a quote because a tiny ROI story plus real tags and a short clip feels like social proof, not a flex.
Work from dd Coffee - Da Nang - upstairs coworking area - quite/no music (besides the construction noise nearby 🫠) - only a few tables - it's ok, but there are a lot better cafes for work in Da Nang 208 Mbps Download 115 Mbps Upload #digitalnomad #remotework #danang https://t
ChadThe dd Coffee review drove bookmarks and replies off hyper-local honesty (speeds, construction noise, 'it's ok but better exist') which is exactly what nomads want before they walk over.
Chad's moves for @Exlo7
- Drop one 20-30s cafe walkthrough or screen-recording a week. Your pickleball ad video already proved short video outperforms your text average, so make it the weekly main event.
- Turn the cafe data into reply-bait one-liners like 'Fastest WiFi you found in Da Nang this month?' Your niche answers those in seconds and replies are the signal you want.
- Ship the -50€ MRR story raw this week: the honest number, how it feels, what you're testing next. Vulnerability with receipts is the breakout pattern you're sitting on.
ChadAt 111 followers you're in the quality lane. You're at 12.1 posts/week and 2% engagement against a median 18.8 and 2.5% in my audits, so 2 solid posts a day (one crafted update, one short question) compounds without burying your best work.
One post, rewritten by Chad
That's 4 months of café hopping combined into one list. All data (WiFi speed, AC, food, visits): https://t.co/GDmRaBj5fA Was 17.5 million VND too much or too little? You decide 😄
I spent 17.5 million VND (€582) café-hopping Da Nang for 4 months. Tracked WiFi, AC, food, every visit. Full data list: https://t.co/GDmRaBj5fA Too much or too little for the intel? You decide.
Led with the crazy number instead of burying it so the hook stops the scroll the same way your top post did.
Questions about @exlo7's X account
@exlo7's strongest posting hour is 1:00 AM PT, measured from 100 of their own recent posts rather than a general rule. The next strongest are 6:00 AM and 2:00 AM.
@exlo7 posts about 12.1 times a week across the posts Chad read. Chad's recommended cadence for this account is 2 a day.
@exlo7 runs a 2% engagement rate, meaning that share of the people who see a post react to it. Their average post reaches 188 people. Follower count is not part of this measurement.
The single biggest opportunity Chad found on @exlo7 is first lines that do not hook. The opening line has to spark curiosity or drop a number, or the rest of the post never gets read.
