You don't need a service like that; just like you don't need 750 words to write three pages a day; and you don't need facebook to stay in contact with your friends.
This isn't about need - most little one off ideas like this aren't about that. First, it's about encouraging the idea (keep the hand moving/practice a kata) via a nice, simple online tool. Second, it's a central, online service - ala google docs, drop box, etc where you could, every day, just upload a snippet of code you toyed with.
So; no - you and I don't need an online service to do this. No one does. No one needs an online calendar or online service that hosts a private journal. This is more about the idea and encouraging that idea and practice than making a profitable service millions flock to.
Make a nice little tool to share the idea, and a service that encourages the idea. Sure, someone might code the thing they want to make (e.g. the app/service itself) but if the original idea helped spur them to do so, then I've happily succeeded in planting the idea in someone's head, and hopefully they will also do so in turn.
