Ask HN: Thoughts on using mainstream social media via a web browser?
I’m curious if anyone here uses mainstream social media (Facebook, X/Twitter, Pinterest, etc) via a web browser.
I’m interested in use cases where a browser is the primary access method.
If yes, what is your experience and would you recommend it?

Ask HN: Building qApp: a minimal queue management platform
Hi everyone,
I'm currently developing qApp, a lightweight queue and appointment reservation management system for businesses (banks, clinics, shops, etc.). The idea is to let customers join a queue through a simple online form and receive updates via SMS — no apps, no complicated logins.
qApp will support two queue modes:
Normal queue: first-come, first-served.
Reservation queue: customers choose from available time slots.
Each business will also have:
A simple dashboard for managing queues and customers.
A pay-as-you-go model for service usage.
Authentication and session control built-in.
Goal: Create a simple, secure, and affordable solution for small and medium-sized businesses, with minimal complexity both for users and businesses.
---
I'm looking for:
Feedback and suggestions on the overall idea
UX and product improvement ideas
Potential collaborations or partnerships
Any comments, advice, or even tough criticism is very welcome!

Ask HN: Memory-Safe Low Level Languages
I am looking for memory-safe languages that can be used for systems/graphics programming. I love Rust, but it often feels like too massive a language with too much stuff going on. Is there a language like C, which is simpler (obviously without all the UB and other problems)?
This is an especially hard ask, given how useful the FP-like features of Rust are, and I find it almost impossible to live without them. Basically, I am looking for a middle ground between C/Zig and Rust.
One such language I have found is Austral[0]. What other such languages are there?

Constitution and Due Process for Illegals
We start with the Constitution:
"AMENDMENT XIV
Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
The text has both words "Citizen" and "Person".
So, we have two cases:
(1) The words "Citizen" and "Person" mean the same:
Then "citizens" get "due process of law" and for a suspected non-citizen we have:
"Are you legally in the US? Papers please? No papers? Okay, you're OUT'A here TODAY."
(2) The words "Citizen" and "Person" do not mean the same:
Then
"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States;"
applies only to states and citizens; states are free to "abridge" with non-citizens.
For
"... nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
applies only to states and with a non-citizen "person" the Federal government is free to "deprive" and "deny".
So for a suspected non-citizen again we have:
"Are you legally in the US? Papers please? No papers? Okay, you're OUT'A here TODAY."

Show HN: Blooming – Chain AI models on a whiteboard to turn text→images→video
Hey HN,
I built Blooming, a visual AI workspace where you drag-and-drop “nodes” (text, image, video) onto a whiteboard and chain AI text, image and video models together.
It's kinda like n8n but for AI art:
• Node-based canvas • Multi-model switching (test different models side by side and iterate multiple versions) • Pipe text or image output to other nodes to refine prompts, turn them into videos or explain images
Demo link: https://youtu.be/TdFzhxeRFNg
I’d love your feedback on UI clarity, performance, and which models to integrate next.
What’s confusing or missing for AI image and video power users?
Everything here is live in prod (you can sign in to use free credits right now). Trying to see if this is useful to people.
Thanks for checking it out – Edrick
