NNWInstaPost – iPhone offline reading heaven
Posted on 5 January, 2009 by Jimmy Liew
Instapaper is a free service that allows you to save web pages and read it later at their site or on your iPhone with their app.
Previously you can use a Safari Bookmarklet to save any page you are reading in Safari. So if you are reading via NetNewsWire, you’ll need to open the article in Safari before saving it.
Now with NNWInstaPost, you can easily add any articles you want to read later to Instapaper with just a click of the button.
NNWInstaPost asks you politely for your username and password for Instapaper the first time you run it and it works out all the other technical things, leaving you free to do more RSS reading. NNWInstaPost can then be run from the applescript menu (or via keyboard shortcut) whenever you have a news article or tab selected within NetNewsWire. When NNWInstaPost is finished, it will fire off a trendy little Growl alert for you too.
Do make sure you get the latest version for the script to work. (Ben has updated the NNWInstaPost page with the new download link)
Also look forward to a built-in save command to Instapaper from Netnewswire in the coming builds for both the desktop and iPhone app.

Thanks for the kind words – the new version of the NNWInstaPost seems to have fixed up the odd issue and is now linked to from the main download page: http://protagonist.co.uk/NNWInstaPost.
