That's actually a pretty good idea—turning subreddits into useful, deep-featured apps. I recently heard to a MFM podcast in which someone turned a game subreddit into a multi million dollar app in weeks.

I guess the main challenge is to get people to interact and submit actually good ideas (right now they're not that good, probably first time founders).

Indeed, getting contributors is the more challenging part (as it is in pretty much every forum).

Why do you think the existing ideas are not as good? It is possible that there are flaws – flaws that both I and the current users are oblivious to. If you point those out, it could be discussed, and if it becomes clear that there's a gaping hole, the idea could be closed.
