So, back to editors, I guess. I wrote quite a few. Before Every Door, the most known was the low-level one. I didn't think of a name for too long.
Level0's main invention was not a user interface, but a user-editable representation of OSM XML. With it, it's pretty easy to edit tags, move or add POI, or even edit line geometries. All while feeling like a hacker.

It was obviously inspired by the french RawEditor, for which I even made a wrapper first.
@zverik Level0 was a great, easy way for sites (like townlands.ie) to do simple “imports”/“mechanical edits”. I had the tags (in level0 format) which people could add to objects & a link to level0 edit URL. Mappers could open in new tab and paste the tags. Done. Edits in a few clicks.
Certain versions of this could be done with @MapRoulette now, I suppose. But level0 formatted tags & a URL is much faster to get working.
