Forgot to say that it's open source (AGPL) on GitHub [1]. I find it handy just being able to run `git blame` on a doc, but I'm sure it could be made more useful. Contributions are welcome!
The only benefit of the hosted version is that the OAuth setup is already done. If you're ok registering an OAuth app with Google (instructions in README.md) then it's trivial to run yourself. Given that there's no fine-grained permissions on Drive - it has to ask for read only access to your entire Drive just to access one doc - I completely understand wanting to run it locally.
