I just want to check from my phone how my home server is doing. Maybe someone else gets a perverse pleasure out of catting /proc/meminfo but I don't understand the need to make things more complicated than necessary.
this exactly, is something alot of people on hackernews don't understand. Yes when you want to have the power you go in by ssh. But unlike some people I am not terminally on my thinkpad from 2010. And sometimes Its enough to just get a quick monitoring glance.
If you want people to self-host, this is a gateway to that.
And those who are actually curious will look into what it's doing under the hood.
