I remember that the maker of Instagram was offering 50% of Android sales to anyone willing to do the work of porting Instagram to Android and providing the support. Is this what finally happened?

        Is it an official app? I don't see any links, any endorsement, or even a mention of an Android client on Instapaper.com.

        i thought it was, but now that i look again i don't think it is. there was a story about papermill on theverge [1] the other day that heavily referenced marco's post, and i assumed that the point of all the marco references was that it was the endorsed app, but reading the article again they don't actually make that claim.

        Marco Arment said he's in touch with several developers and will choose one to be the official developer. He noted that while several Android Instapaper clients exist, they use his iOS private API in addition to his public API, and he will only endorse one using his public API only (Can someone explain why that would be?). http://www.marco.org/2011/12/07/standing-up-for-android http://www.marco.org/2011/12/07/standing-up-for-android

This formats very strangely on my portrait-oriented display (1200x1920, firefox 11). The top of the page is a big black rectangle, and the subsequent content is bottom-aligned. It sure is pretty though.

What a nice page. I can't wait to see what their new designers come up with in the future. They recently hired Tim Van Damme (http://timvandamme.com/ http://timvandamme.com/) and Maykel Loomans (http://miekd.com/ http://miekd.com/)

Cool. However, having used both, Pixlr-o-matic is quite a bit better.
