The general idea definitely makes sense, putting a UI on it is the hard 
part. I have sketches for a native UI that will work pretty well, but 
for the web UI it's tough. Basically I want posts to be easily 
composable from different "types" of data where each type of data may 
have a special editor. I almost have the architecture to the point 
where I can start more aggressively exploring how to do this.
