From time to time I also go through the back-catalogue and remove no longer relevant and very old items from the queue. 200 saved articles, videos and essays, but it declines. Reading content on a device that doesn't glow and doesn't have an internet collection all the time, helped my mind to slow down again. The RSS feed of all my starred items is then piped through IFTTT to Instapaper. When a new specific feed item arrives in Feedbin, it is automatically marked as starred. I've also set up some basic rules to automatically queue up some newsletter subscriptions to be read later via Feedbins actions system. When I navigate through Feedbin and an RSS item looks interesting, I ususally share it directly to read it later in Instapaper.
(I know that I can forward emails to Instapaper, but having newsletters directly in Feedbin saves me this step and "reading content" is already in the place where I expect new "reading content" to appear.)įeedbin also natively supports sharing items to Instapaper through keyboard shortcuts. The feature also prevents my mail inbox from overflowing with "to be read" newsletters and becoming another todo list. I use this feature to subscribe to a couple long-form newsletters which don't contain a lot of links. In addition to just managing RSS feeds from websites, it also supports subscribing to newsletters. Instapaper is fed by articles and essays I discover through Twitter/ Reddit/newsletters I'm subscribed to and by RSS feeds I follow. 1 The Stack #Īs mentioned, my "Boring Reading Stack" uses Instapaper and my Kindle as the primary services to read content. The geek I am, I've set up a system to connect all content sources together, so that I can share content to Instapaper – and ultimately to my Kindle. In contrast to last year, my Kindle is now always in by bag, filled with different essays, long-form newsletters or books to read. I started reading saved articles during lunch break, while making dinner or when I go for a walk and sit on a park bench on a sunny afternoon. A subscription gives me access to a feature to send a weekly digest of saved articles to my Kindle. The remaining time, it just sat on my bedside table unused and forgotten.Įarlier this year though, I've subscribed to Instapaper. When I went on vacations or long train rides I had it with me. I have this e-ink reader since 2013 and mainly used it like most other owners: To read e-books.
INSTAPAPER API DRIVER
The main driver behind this was … my Kindle. I started reading more and more of my queued articles, essays and newsletters. Over the last few months, things improved drastically. It craved to see something different every other minute. The internet – with all it's distractions – is looming just an ⌘+Tab away.Įventhough I've removed allmost all feeds out of my life years ago, my brain still couldn't focus on a single task. It's nice that these services strip ads and other cruft out of the text, but reading a long-form article for 10-15 minutes on my phone or laptop just isn't for me. I either find them through Twitter, RSS, Reddit or just from links friends send me.įor many years I used to just add these articles to my "Read-it-later"-queue in Instapaper or Pocket, but never actually took the time to clear the queue. Like you my dear reader, I discover many articles and essays everyday I would like to read.
