Make an app called "As Seen On HN", post about it, then the cycle will be complete and we can go back to the regular smorgasbord of things that get posted here.

Taken a step further, a webapp that tracks businesses that emerge from different online communities would be super useful for improving commercial targeting of social media, and with a delay on content updates baked in for free users could probably find a good group of paying ones.

The best way to kill a fad is to build it up to the point where it loses its novelty.

I love the way you turned this around : from frustration to an action course. Making me consider doing what i was criticizing moments ago. kudos.
Please don't build a needlessly bloated SPA obviously thrown together without much thought just so you can say "first" and post it on HN. If you care enough to do it, you should care enough to make it not suck. :)
How about an app for crowdsourcing answers to Y Combinator application questions?
