Instapaper Beyond for Fluid.app - BrettTerpstra.com

just bought a MBA11 & now using this more than my iPad so Instapaper Beyond is just what I need to replace my iPas Instapaper app. Thanks.

My only question is is it possible to add a key shortcut for scrolling a page at a time?

calculating the exact page height for paging is a little tedious. How far off does hitting the spacebar leave you?

perfect thanks Brett. Forgot all about spacebar - might be good to add to help. Will the userscript used by a Fluid app also be kept up to date? (with "U")

Not as much as the Safari extension. I'll try to bring them up to feature parity soon, but my primary focus is on Safari at this point.

Any thoughts to making this work on Google Chrome?

I haven't looked at what that would take yet, but I imagine it would be fairly simple. I'll take a look as soon as it's at a point where I consider it feature-complete and stable in Safari.

This is very cool—great work. However, it seems to break the article styling tools (that appear when you click the Aa button in single-article view). Clicking those links does nothing when Instapaper Beyond is active. They work fine if Instapaper Beyond is disabled, but changes made do not persist when it is re-enabled. Am I missing something? Fluid 0.9.6.

Quick update: I fixed this in the latest version that I just uploaded (1.3). In your Instapaper SSB, just type "U" (shift-U) to get the update. All of the text controls should be working now, and it should remember your styling between articles and between sessions.

I'll post more details on the blog shortly.

No, you're not missing anything. Because of the way that Instapaper Beyond loads the articles without reloading the page, it overrides some of the features like text styling. I'm looking into ways to avoid that right now, and will try to have it fixed in upcoming versions.

Cool script, Brett.
Glad to see Instapaper Article Tools is inspiring other work.

Do you think eventually InstapaperBeyond will integrate better with other userscripts/styles?
Aside from Article Tools, I prefer to restyle instapaper using instapaper greystyled ( http://is.gd/bjtUe ). Black text on white is not my favorite.

I plan to do what I can. Some of the absolute positioning required for the Ajax portions is what screws it up. Watch for updates, though…
