For OneBody, we have 6 different ways to install the software.[1] We're definitely not forcing anyone to pay DigitalOcean to host our open source app, but it sure is nice to give people that option when they don't want to mess with running their own host.

Why is "church" (specifically) built into the onebody product? The software would seem to be organization-agnostic, suitable for any community group. "Church" is certainly a reasonable target/majority use case for marketing, but it seems strange to exclude other cases where a group of people come together in a buildng, take classes, plan events, etc, where the software could work fine.

I agree somewhat, though OneBody does have church-specific features built-in, such as favorite bible verses and prayer requests etc. It is specialized for church communities, though you can turn that stuff off and use the software as a general community social network if you want.
