@Nextcloud 📱☁️💻 I can't find any documentation, for developers or even prospective users, that takes a step back and explains what Nextcloud is, why it is, what it's for and what it's not suitable for. All docs seem to jump from the initial commercial fluff(*) straight into the technical deep end. But also technically, an architectural overview with design decisions etc is useful to decide before you start building an app whether it is suitable for a use case or not.

For example some cloud systems are aimed at publically hosting things, Wordpress/Flickr-style, while others aim to offer access controls for storing and sharing your own files. With Nextcloud being more of the latter I get the impression. Both can be used for both cases, but that would just be a bad idea.

(*) maybe I have too much of a mental block for commercial fluff that I'm not parsing it completely...
