Ask HN: Badly Timed Inspirations?

[JCThoughtscream]

It's November 2, Thoughtscream Media's application was tossed in a week ago, and all of a sudden, my technical cofounder and I are awash with a ton of fascinating back-end and design possibilities that didn't occur to us before the deadline.

Part of it is my fault - the content format experimentation I'm currently conducting was the inspiration for a lot of our current discussion, and I really should've done it /while/ working on the application - but it does seem as if having sudden brainstorms after everything's been squared away is a common problem for us.

Who else amongst this season's applicants are being plagued by post-deadline brainstorms? And how do the rest of you deal with it?

(us, we're filing this away on a /front/ burner. The moderated wiki implementation for followup news stories could be /tremendously/ helpful...)
