I am from marketing, so maybe I don't really understand the technical value here but how is it different than me opening a new Google doc?

I currently have a single doc file that I use like notes, as soon as I type "note" in my address bar, my browser automatically fills in the rest of the URL for the file (since I open is frequently).

The Doc file allows me to paste images, add links, or anything else essential for note taking. I don't need to save, or find the URL from browser history. Simply type and close.

For any new file, I can type Doc.new. It will work the same way.

Please explain how is it different?

The google docs experience is so spririt crushingly bad on an ipad (my preferred casual browsing / reading device) that I immediately bookmarked this site for those moments when I need to write and don't want to fetch my laptop.
Google Docs stores things on Google's servers. This site doesn't send anything to anyone, it stays on your device only.
