Try not to blame the messenger. He asked to have his application reviewed, so I reviewed it. That was my customer experience trying to download and install his product.
Here, for a counterexample, is the homepage for a different open source software product:

You'll notice some key differences. That page describes exactly what the software does and how it will benefit me as a user. It includes a prominent link to an installer right off the page.
That's what the public face of a software product should look like. That's the message I was trying to convey to the original poster. Dropping potential users off at Github is a dead-end for most of them. An explanation as to why can be found here:
