Why would you want to be able to access your personal projects from your phone? What context requires this over waiting and solving the problem at home?

What about work life balance? (yes, it's a personal project, but still)

A personal project might be something that is useful in your day to day life (e.g., a notes app, todo list, or calendar), or something that you want to be able to show to fiends/family when you see them in person (e.g. a photo album, or something related to a mutual hobby).

Sometimes the personal project is an app: it has an API it talks to.

Sometimes the personal project is a website: it has progress tracking that I want to check on.

Sometimes the personal project is for home automation, I want to check the status of it or tell my heater to turn on remotely.

i have a paperless filing system that i frequently access from the office for things like scans of bills that aren’t yet electronic, etc. it’s fantastic to be able to access it all (via VPN; never direct) wherever i like
