I am not an authority on the issue and I encourage you to pursue a formula that could be adopted like reddit or Hive to upvote such dApps you would like to highlight to propel the protocol forward.
I would like to see you push forward for a process that you can imagine we could use to understand idea’s that would benefit the Cardano ecosystem, maybe you could go into further depth on how you see this upvote idea will work?
I am genuinely interested as I understand the complications of changing any style of a system once it has gained roots as the path forward, see my objection to CIP1 that I am working on defending, and I am finding very difficult to do so although I know as time goes by it will be more difficult especially after Shelley, once people accept something as a norm than it becomes very hard to persuade them to accept something that goes against what they know.
So be sure to spend some time on your idea and bounce it off of as many people as you can, just to be sure you get it right.
