Ask HN: What would you do with http://startup.io?

I recently acquired http://startup.io , I am looking to contribute it to a great project. What would you do with it?

I'd say..how about a directory of sorts, for people who've got ideas, and are looking for feedback, or other people to help build it? Just a thought from the top of my head.

This has been done already (rather well, in my opinion):

http://www.builditwith.me/

Last time I used that (a year ago)- didn't get replies from many people. It seemed like a zombie app to me.

second that

In that case a startup showcase app (basically a fully fledged show HN).

become a platform where people can contribute startup related content. For example, legel things vary from country to country. For someone in US, HN might help. What about Chinese/Indians etc? Extrapolate this. Marketing gyan can be shared.

If you can create a platform where things are grouped properly, it would be valuable for people who want to startup :)

Sell it, because I can't think of a good way to make money with it that I would also enjoy to do for a long period of time.

That's a possibility, but looking to see if anyone has a great community project that would be great for it. What you mentioned is a reason I am not looking to be the main project maintainer though I might contribute.

Isn't it obvious? Kittens or porn.
