He may be just refuting the "peak downloads/full time on Magazine" claim, but kind of an odd response given this.
- evan_ 13y agoIn retrospect that seems like a tease of today's announcement- He's saying that Instapaper's best days are still to come.
- uxp 13y agoActually, it doesn't sound odd in the slightest if you read the whole thread, including the two people at the end complaining about the lack of support. Reading the article, it sounds like Instapaper was just too big for Marco to support on his own, and has partnered with BetaWorks to help him make the product better, probably by giving it support. It seems incredibly cut and dry from that perspective.
- Kylekramer 13y agoWell, one of bottom guys is the editor of Arment's magazine, so only one of them is asking for support. I just find it odd that people saying things mostly proven by this sale (Instapaper isn't Arment's top priority, it is hard to run Instapaper alone) gets a somewhat chastising response saying "it isn't true at all".
- smackfu 13y agoThe odd thing is that he already hired an editor for The Magazine so it's not like be needs to work full time on it. Maybe he has another idea for a new project. He has definitely "seen the light" about a product producing monthly revenues instead of a one time purchase price.
