I love this! I feared that Instapaper development would stagnate after Marco sold it. Even though he said that they will develop a lot of new features, you know how it often times is when companies/apps get bought.<p>But i'm happy to see quite the contrary!<p>What i love about Instapaper is the fact, that it doesn't fuck around. It tries to be one thing and one great thing only. I don't want to see tweets, i don't want to see related articles or what other people think besides my texts.<p>Instapaper comes as close to reading a ebook/book as it could get. At least for me.
This surprises me a bit:<p>"All requests should be made via the POST method, and all parameters should be passed in the POST request-body and not in the query-string."<p>So even typical GET are sent as POST (/api/1/bookmarks/list)<p>Is there any reason to do that?
I still love the UI of instapaper a lot more than the one pocket has on their iOS version.<p>The main reason I switched to pocket was that Instapaper doesn't seem to have support for PDFs.<p>I don't need any of the "position syncing" and other stuff. I just want to be able to download the PDF and view it offline in the same app that helps me do this to blogposts.
Instapaper is a lot stickier now. But the API appears to be write-only; neither there, nor anywhere else in the documentation, do I see any way to pull my data out of Instapaper if I should decide I no longer want to use it.
All the methods that need to append `add`, `delete`, `update` to the URI. Why aren't you just using HTTP methods for this?<p>Why do I have to POST everything? Do you know what POST is supposed to be used for?
