![]() ![]() They keep a 'reading list' of all the stuff you sent to them, so it is convenient to come back later to these apps and read your. All three apps are made for viewing curated web pages offline. If Instapaper fails we will all be the worse for it. So, for articles I want to read whole, Im sending my content to one of three apps: Instapaper, Readability or Pocket (formerly known as 'Read It Later'). (The majority of websites, including the much-lauded Medium, fail this test.) I use it to judge a website’s designs by loading their articles into Instapaper, and then seeing whether the original is easier to read than the copy in Instapaper. Instapaper isn’t just one of my core tools, it’s also my touchstone for legibility. Playing the game of musical owners does not instill confidence about the stability or direction of the company (just about the only way it could be worse is if Yahoo bought it), which is why as a longtime user and avid fan, I hope this isn’t a bad sign for the future of Instapaper. Method 1: Hypothes.is Hypothes.is great for articles and PDFs. We plan to continue offering a robust service that focuses on readers and the reading experience for the foreseeable future. Instapaper is for articles that I want to read later - mostly, non-work related articles - while Hypothes.is is for articles and PDFs that I read as I find them. The product will continue to be built and maintained by the same people who’ve been working on Instapaper for the past five years. We want to emphasize that not much is changing for the Instapaper product outside the new ownership. The ownership transfer will occur after a 21 day waiting period designed to give our users fair notice about the change of control with respect to their personal information. Today, we’re announcing that Pinterest has entered into an agreement to transfer ownership of Instapaper to Instant Paper, Inc., a new company owned and operated by the same people who’ve been working on Instapaper since it was sold to betaworks by Marco Arment in 2013. Now Instapaper is being spun out as an independent company. Originally launched by Marco Arment as an iPhone app, the save for later service Instapaper was sold to Betaworks in 2013, who then sold it to Pinterest in 2016. ![]()
