Actually it isn't. It does not talk about a lot of important details/questions one might wonder before downloading the app, like:

    - "how does this app do it"
    - "how is this app any different than macOS's Do Not Disturb feature"
    - "where's the source code for this app, why would I trust this software with full access to my compute (it requires that)"

If there's one thing I realized as a technical person/programmer: it's that other people do not think like this at all. Barely anyone give a crap about source-code, it could be written in an amalgamation of COBOL, ActionScript, windows .bat files and C#/.NET to glue everything together. As long as it does what it does without causing major trouble, it's fine for them.

I guess you could add a link to a FAQ with answers to questions you might be interested in for those who do care.. and they do have that, so it's no problem whatsoever.

A lot of folks who may download this app are unlikely to care about any of those questions. They only care that their problem is solved. If they landed on this website during their searches for an app to snooze notifications, the above the fold first paragraph answers that succinctly, promptly followed by a download button.
