Hi,


I started playing with Instapaper's API last week. But I realized that it was 
very restrictive and you can't list bookmarks using it until you're a 
subscribed (paid) user. So I built a small application using Webkit. It runs 
in system tray, and shows notification about pages saved for reading later when 
user is idle. It can also be used to add articles on Instapaper. Sources can 
be found here:

I parse Html page to get list of articles saved on server (easily breakable 
solution), but later on I realized same could be achieved using RSS feed of a 
folder in Instapaper. So if we want to implement same solution in Rekonq, we 
can use RSS. As someone pointed out we should do it using a plugin, and I am 
still unsure about plugin support in Rekonq.

Hi,


Instapaper ( http://www.instapaper.com/ ) is a web-based service used to save 
pages for reading later. I have used it for some time, but I have noticed that 
most of the time people save pages to read later , but never read them again. 
AFAIK the reason being there is no feature to remind people about these saved 
pages. I would like to see such feature in Rekonq. So let's say a user starts 
Rekonq for first time in a Kde session, he should get a reminder about pages 
saved on Instapaper for reading later, or notification can be made when user is 
idle for some time. This could be done using Instapaper's web service API. I 
would like to know what do you guys think about this idea ?

If this is paid solution, I don't think we should "sponsor" or promote it in 
any way.
As someone before pointed out, there are "standard" solutions to achieve the 
same results that are bookmarks and syncing. At least you can add en entry on 
some calendar implementation (akonadi? G cal? Both?) to remember about it.
I don't see the need to pass for a new application or a 3rd party web service.
