Discussion

Instapaper is a remarkably simple application that only aims to do one thing, save your browsed content. Instapaper can save any webpage that you come across and want to save for later. The best part is Instapaper can save them as a text format so you don’t have to worry about confusing layouts that you don’t need. It also makes the application great for saving articles or blogs.

What’s great about the actual page saving is that Instapaper can save the content offline. This means that you will always have access to your saved pages so you don’t ever have to worry about being away from your content. Instapaper does all this while adhering to a minimalist design. This creates no distractions so you can enjoy your content more.

Additionally, Instapaper is highly customizable. You can change the interfaces you interact with most like fonts, text sizes, line spacings, and margins. Another fantastic aspect is that you can literally store unlimited websites on Instapaper’s servers and up to 500 in your local storage. This is great because as long as you have a data connection, you get access to all of your content.
