Kinda like you say yourself, the service is probably the least interesting part. It doesn't really matter whether its a public repository or if you use thing your friends shared only within their network. When it comes to what people expect and how they'll feel about breaking those expectations, the only difference is that a smaller network of generally like-minded people _may_ already be cool with it, or at least it's easier to ask. I'm not even saying they're right to feel weird about it. Just that people are going to feel what they're going to feel, and doing something they didn't expect is a sure-fire way to get them to feel _something_.
