Middle of the pack. Best of it, you show up often enough. Worst of it, you reach fewer people than your follower count suggests.

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.

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 1.8K reactions across the posts Chad read. Bookmarks are not counted, here or anywhere else in this audit.

Golden hours

When @madsmadsdk'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 sound like a working indie builder talking shop with friends: short status dumps, emoji for punch, and clean bullet lists of real numbers. Rhythm is casual and direct, never salesy, just here's what shipped and what the click looked like.

What this account is about

The 3 strongest posts, and why they worked

Chad's moves for @madsmadsdk

1. Drop the daily volume and ship one tight build-in-public post like your Monday stack (real CTR + views + activated user) then protect it the rest of the day with only a one-line question.
2. Turn the root-dir idea into a 25-second screen recording of the actual directory listing and diffs, post it mid-week as the main event, then answer every reply while it's hot.
3. Once a week run another genuine shoutout list of 8-10 builders you actually use, but end it with an open question so the 35-reply energy compounds instead of stopping at likes.

ChadYou're at 33 posts a week against a cohort median of 20.8, so the extras are burying the winners. Three a day (one crafted + two light conversation posts) keeps the signal clean at 2k followers.

One post, rewritten by Chad

Opened on the exact Friday pain instead of the vague thinking line, then turned the feature list into a reply-bait question.
