While still a work in progress, the guys at Datt (Decentralize All The Things) are working on a decentralized Reddit alternative that will "run in a web browser and can be used as easily as any web app". What I find interesting about that project is that there are plans to integrate payments.
All successful decentralized applications are based on an implicit economic model (like trading data for data in BitTorrent). Without payment integration these systems are using a barter instead of a market system. When decentralized apps start to integrate payment systems they will move from barter to market economies, which will unleash a new wave of innovation imo.

If users are not choosing to use our products or services, this is a valuable sign that we are not building the right thing." Wow.
