SafariPaper by Jacopo Donati

This extension adds “Read Later” links next to article dates in Safari’s RSS view. Someone should consider doing a similar extension for Readability.

Instapaper auto-archive by Thadd Selden

If you’re a user of Instapaper, you might miss the auto-archive feature they used to have. It would automatically archive an article when you clicked on it to read it. At the time that they removed the feature, I created FIFO Links, which uses HTML5 storage to accomplish the same thing. The catch with FIFO Links is that it didn’t provide shared storage; it only worked in one browser.

Recently, I decided that I should give Instapaper another shot (driven mostly by support for Instapaper in Reeder, the excellent RSS app for iPad). So as a result, I created a Safari extension that revives Instapaper’s auto-archive feature.

The source is also available on Github.

Minimal Instapaper by Richard Käll

A cleaner Instapaper reading list. No ads, no extras.

Nice, except that it doesn’t actually block the ads and they wind up in the middle of the article list. Also, speaking as a big fan of Instapaper and a slightly less-big (but still large) fan of ads by The Deck, I’d like to see a version of this extension that puts the ads to one side but leaves them visible.

Placemarker by Canisbos Computing

Placemarker is for those times when you wish you could save your place in a long web page so you could come back to that point later without having to hunt for it. Placemarker lets you create special bookmarks, called placemarks, that it saves to Instapaper or Read It Later, whichever service you prefer. (You can also save a placemark as a Safari bookmark, though you’ll have to save the bookmark manually.)

The magic happens when you later open the placemark: Safari will automatically scroll to the phrase you selected when you created the placemark.
