      Because you can use it on any device without having to install the whole app and sync the data separately… It’s super convenient, and cross-platform.

      It’s still self hosted and you own the data.

        yep… I write all my papers in Google because I can access the files anywhere, and nothing beats PaperPile for referencing yet.

        That’s one thing I really love about the whole self hosting deal. I find more and more apps that I can run on my server und just utilize it on all my hardware. Only have your phone on you? No problem. Working on your companies computer? Just open the browser.

        No reason to install and maintain stuff on 4 different devices
