Getting access to your own data, in any form you like, to be used in any way you want shouldn't make you jump hoops. Letting other people see what you are creating, saying or doing all over the Internet shouldn't need rows of icons and links. If you like the sound of that, you're going to love this.
So basically a web host with a WYSIWYG editor. Yeah, those have kind of been around forever OP. http://ckeditor.com/
Do something original for once in your life, like writing a Lisp dialect.
It's a formulaic ``le web 2.0'' failure of a project.
☑ SSL where it serves absolutely no purpose but to slow down traffic
☑ ``creative'' domain name using country codes to complete a ``word''
☑ vague description of what the good/service actually is being offered, opting instead for a markov chain of buzzwords
☑ Photoshop and CSS masturbation
☑ restricted access to sign up for the service using the Greek letter mnemonic from software development (even though the intended audience is not technologically adept (what kind of idiot needs a ``web app'' to do IRC?)); makes sure everyone will forget about it by the time it's actually accessible
☑ uses social media like telemarketers use phones in lieu of actually buying advertisement
☑ use of slow scripting languages never meant to support large web services
☑ charges money for the service and insultingly compares their price to something like ``a cup of coffee''
☑ it's ``social'', that's why it's better than well-established free, secure, and open source ways of doing it
Are there hackers who just open up a hex editor and type in an executable file directly?

While it's possible, it's much easier to write new software using a high level language. People who use a hex editor only make trivial changes to a program and do not write any significant amount of code that way.

Once. It isn't easy because you have to constantly reshift all your label references.

Yes, I can type in directly a file that will execute in a Lisp interpreter.
