I wouldn't even let people add new images to the queue if the wait period is over, say, 10 minutes.

  Not a bad idea!

How is the image processing being done? In broad strokes, what're you doing with the Python API?

  Do water color artists use broad strokes?

    Ho ho. As far as I know, you can make a wash with a broad brush. Watercolour is a nice way to paint blurry things like oceans and clouds, which involves broad strokes.

It says I should keep that tab open for the next 17 hours. What happens if I still close it? Congrats for the unexpected success :)

  Unfortunately nothing at the moment! Currently working on removing images from the queue if the user has left the page (which I'm guessing is the case for about 99% of the current queue).

    Fixed! Now abandoning the tab will remove the image from the queue.

Moving it to a larger AWS instance - will be down for a few minutes!

  Done - upgraded to a t3.xlarge. Now it can process 4 images in parallel. Still not enough to keep up with HN demand, but it should chew through the queue a _bit_ faster.
