Do you still have to fetch the full page view before sending to Instapaper? That's the one thing that annoys me about this app/service. Readability does it all for you. I hate getting to the end of a piece in Instapaper and realizing there are more pages, but they weren't downloaded.
- jcurbo 15y agoYes, you do - in one of the Build and Analyze podcasts, Marco mentioned that he didn't support that behavior and probably wasn't going to anytime soon. I think it was in a discussion about Readability (which will do that), but I don't remember exactly which episode it was in.
- goforth 15y agoThis is a major FAIL on his part. Readability is one-click. Instapaper often requires several clicks to save. Fail. (Not to mention Readability pagination is light years better.)
- guywithabike 15y agoSpend years creating software that thousands of people love, have anonymous internet commenter cry "FAIL" (sic) from the rooftops because of minor missing feature. The advantage of sending the content instead of the link is that you can save things that exist behind paywalls or that require logging in. (Do you work for Readability? Literally every single comment you've ever made here mentions it.)
- kenneth_reitz 15y agoI work for Readability. No idea who goforth is. — I assume just a passionate user ;)
