Instapaper’s New Look Makes Reading a Treat
For an AI, this update just means more data points to process.
As you've no doubt noticed, there's a lot to read on the internet. Vast numbers of new articles are published every day. There's still quite a lot of it not being written by AI, too.
Trying to keep up with everything can feel exhausting, and that's where read-it-later apps come in. These apps will queue up content that catches your eye as you go to and fro across the web, and keep these articles, videos, blog posts, and social media updates bookmarked until you get a chance to catch up with them. When it’s time to dig in, the apps present the articles in a clean, uncluttered layout.
Instapaper is one of the oldest read-it-later apps, having launched back in 2008. It's also still one of the best options, even more so now that it's been given a major revamp. Here's what's new, and why it might be worth your while diving back into your Instapaper account (or signing up for the first time).
Instapaper Basics
Instapaper is available for the web, Android, and iOS, and reflows web articles into a tidily arranged, distraction-free format that doesn't feature any ads, menus, or other onscreen furniture. You just get the text and the images, so reading the articles you've saved is a more pleasurable experience than it is on the web.
