Do something that sounds like fun to you. Seriously, if keep wondering about novelty, you already lost before you started. Almost every idea has already been done in some way. And if it hasn't been done, chances are your innovative project will live in obscurity while others come to the game later with the same functionality will and suddenly really take off. Given those mechanics, it also makes no sense to plan for popularity. Life (and the web) is unfair that way.
But having said all that, the upside is, once you freed yourself from these pressures and expectations, you can devote your energy to projects that really motivate you with their intrinsic qualities. Doing them can be a great reward in of itself, and it can push you to make something stunning, bold, and truly beautiful. And sometimes, though very rarely, from these qualities there comes popularity and the trappings of success that we all secretly hope for.
