Putting together a grant proposal where a lot of the point is making the end result easy to deploy, easy to backup, and fool inexperience proof to upgrade and it is hard to hit the balance between 'the actual functionality is this super straight forward thing' and 'the point of funding it would be to make using this thing super straight forward' without the whole word count becoming either implementation details or vague fluff unrelated to the actual idea.
Ironically, I could put together the whole thing much more easily as a SaaS product running on servers I control than as a project people can run for themselves, but when the point of the project is to allow you to keep control of your own data that doesn't really help anyone.
