Good god, that's a long landing page. It's like they shoved the whole wiki into the readme.

This is actually my favorite style of documentation. Just hit me over the head with the whole thing, I can take it.

Plus, in my experience when I make a separate user manual... a lot fewer people read it.

Yes, but it starts with an overview, table of contents, and quickstart, so I see no downsides to that approach and lots of upsides.

Most repositories try to create a poor man’s wiki inside of their README. It’s better this way until that problem is solved.

The other style I like is a single sentence with a single link to the actual wiki.
