The Instapaper Beyond Extension now has it’s own page. Check it out!
Instapaper Beyond is officially available as a Safari 5 extension! For Safari users new to Instapaper Beyond, it’s an extension which adds full keyboard navigation and Ajax loading to Instapaper. For example, when the page loads, the first article in the list is highlighted. Using up/down arrows, or j/k, you can navigate forward and backwards. Right arrow or “o” will open an Ajax view of the article from which j/k will continue to navigate articles in text mode.
Pressing the spacebar in text view will page down 1 page (shift-space to page up), and

Instapaper Beyond users will want to type “U” in their Instapaper SSB to update to version 1.4. It includes a minor update that improves bottom-of-page detection when using the spacebar.
Styled after Google Reader and others, when the spacebar is pressed at the bottom of an article, it loads the next article. I’m trying a better selector to detect the bottom of the page, which should prevent false jumps before you finish reading your article…

I just pushed out a fairly large update for Instapaper Beyond, my little userscript for Fluid which adds extensive keyboard navigation and additional functionality to the Instapaper website. I’ve been playing with it sporadically for a while now, and version 1.3 has a lot of new features and some big fixes. See below for the best changelog I could pull together from my surprisingly scattered notes and commit messages.
Current users can update simply by pressing “U” (shift-U) in their Instapaper SSB. New users will want to take a look at the original installation instructions…

I just got back from a week-long “Code Jam” that was all business, all week, so I took a Saturday to work on some personal projects. Instapaper beyond 1.1 is out, and I’d love to hear some feedback on the new features. One of the major additions is a bit of mouse support. You can now click an article in your list to skip the highlighting to that point, and then perform the standard commands on it (open, move, archive, etc.). To that end, most of the links in the interface have also been hijacked and will use the Instapaper Beyond methods, mostly Ajax, to perform their jobs…

Introducing Instapaper Beyond, an Instapaper userscript for Fluid that provides full keyboard navigation and some special features for browsing your Instapaper articles. If you’re not familiar, Fluid is a Mac (only) application which creates a Single Site Browser (SSB) for a site, using the same Webkit engine as Safari. It essentially allows you to turn web applications and sites into Mac apps. It’s pure Cocoa, so all of your Services and fun text tricks (like Control-T transposition) work on it. Oh, and it includes userstyle and userscript engines, similar to Greasemonkey, which allows nerds like me to do some crazy things.

I posted a way to save your Safari tabs to Evernote, which I’ve found is generally a great way to save bookmarks. It syncs automatically to your other computers and your iPhone, and it’s fast and easy. If you really want to highlight a few tabs to make sure you get back to them, you might consider this script, though. Once you’ve saved your entire Safari browsing session for later, close everything except for those special urls, run the code below as a script, and your open tabs will be saved as entries in your InstaPaper account.
There are two “property” lines at the top of the script…
