Instapaper Beyond version 1.8.9 is another small release with a couple of usability enhancements. Thanks to everyone who’s been submitting ideas and bugs, I’ll do my best to keep up!

Update: I just pushed out version 1.8.8 with a minor fix for some spacebar-in-forms issues. The download link and auto-update file have already been updated. Thanks to John P for the bug report!

This is relatively minor update for Instapaper Beyond, the Safari extension which gives you full Ajax loading and keyboard control over Instapaper. It does, however, have…

If you haven’t tried it, gleeBox is an amazing extension. I have it installed in my Firefox and Chrome setups, and I’m more than thrilled that it’s finally available for Safari. It lets you do a lot of crazy (and useful) things with keyboard commands on any website. There’s a great writeup over at PimpMySafari​.com, so I won’t go into depth on the wonderful parts. I’ll…

I just posted version 1.3 of TabLinks. It doesn’t fix all of the things I eventually want to fix, but it does do some rudimentary entity encoding that allows you to actually use HTML tags in the templates. I had said that <a href="%u">%t</a> would work as a template, but it didn’t. Now it does.

Okay, this one has a little refining left to go, but it seems to be working pretty flawlessly. I ported most of the code from a greasemonkey script. All I really want to add is a toolbar item that lets you easily turn it on and off, and maybe a whitelist feature.

There are actually legitimate uses for a plugin like this. Seriously.
