Saves led. 10K people bookmarked it, 26.7 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: 2K replies, 307 quotes, 1K reposts. One bookmark for every 0.6 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.
