I don't think I would want this over the git repo I currently use.
- I just sync the repo to get everything for offline use. Excellent offline access is x100 more valuable to me than anything a web interface could offer. Stats and Anki just feels like frippery.
- You get a web-interface to your repo if you do actually need to grab something online
- I store markdown notes and even diagrams alongside my books
- I edit the css in epub books if I don't like the fixed formatting they include so probably best to store a history of changes. It's quite fun becoming an editor to change an author's idiosyncratic spelling or chop out that "free chapter of another book" they added as an advert.
- I prefer a directory organisation of books - a media website things only impairs my access e.g. grepping all your books and notes together is just a minimum expectation for me.
