Instasaver for Sailfish OS
A minimalist and open source Instapaper client for Sailfish OS. You are now able to submit web pages to Instapaper.com from your Jolla phone.
UPDATED on 10/07/2014 - info about the ver 1.0 and new screenshots
Features
Instasaver allows you to submit an URL both in the main dialog or from the active cover page.
When you use the cover page, URL is automatically extracted from clipboard (eg. link in a tweet copied from Tweetian). Do not forget to setup your Instapaper username and password in the settings dialog.
Other screenshots
The cover page and of the URL extraction menu.
Known issues
Instasaver works for me but may not work for you:
- Instapaper credentials are required, but password storage is insecure.
- the integration is very simple, bookmark sync is not implemented

How to get it
Instasaver is available on the official Jolla store.
If you prefer, you can either build it from source or download the RPM (ver. 1.0).
Installing the RPM package is quite easy: if you download it from the phone, just click on the related entry in the transfer list.

I borrowed some ideas from:

- Sailfish developer hints, the blog
Your feedback
Among possible future enhancements I see:
- add an option to share from the default web browser rather than copy/pasting (I do not think this is possible at the moment, please let me know if I am wrong)
- use Instapaper API KEY and OAuth in place of the simple API
Any feedback is welcome.
