The idea is that this would be for smallish groups of non-technical journalists / activists etc. Even though spinning up a tiny RPi server image that accomplishes this would be easy for me, installing it and setting it up would be close to impossible for most people. I want to make something dead simple that requires zero configuration, and is "good enough" for this use case. Of course it's not ideal, but I think bringing the ability to host your own server to regular people is important.
