I agree — I really like this approach and I’m glad to see someone developing an 
app around it. I believe in users having control over their data, and part of 
that is letting them host it wherever they want.

Good idea, but be careful not to run into the same issue with Apple that 
happened to several Dropbox-compatible apps a few months ago. By embedding a 
Dropbox signup page (in a UIWebView) that included options to register a paid 
account, they ran afoul of Apple’s restriction against offering 3rd-party paid 
subscriptions in-app. Several apps had updates rejected due to this, before 
Dropbox revised the landing page to include only free subscription plans.
