First, let me say that I love LaterLoop. I use the plugin a lot. However, there's one thing that would make it 10x better for me in an instant. My use pattern is that I read a lot of things on the train (I commute 1 1/2 hours each way), when I don't have internet access. So I open a bunch of pages ahead of leaving, and then read them through the ride.
What I would love is a way to store the links that I'd like to follow but can't at the time due to lack of internet access. I envision this as a hotkey followed by a click on the link, which would use some sort of local storage to note the site, and then sync up at a later point when I have net access.
Is this feasible? Easy or difficult to implement? If you think its doable but won't have time for a while I'd love to know that too; I don't have any experience with firefox plugins but I am a programmer so I might take a look.
Hi, Been trying to figure out how the .zip function works in order to read pages offline on my Blackberry. When I create the zip file it sits on my hard drive, but when I drag or import onto my Blackberry I am unable to open the zipped file and I get an error message.
Where am I going wrong? I have tried looking for winzip for the Blackberry but to no avail. Any advice?
Thanks to Instapaper, and more recently LaterLoop, I've shifted much of my longer-form online reading to my iPhone. It is fantastic for all manner of reasons. However, there are times when offline access (and even just faster, cached reading through multiple items) is indispensable. Instapaper has gone after this with an iPhone app, which, while buggy, is a great start. Through it, I was able to read a number of long pieces still in my queue while on airplanes this week. Other than this one feature, I prefer LaterLoop, and have long since switched to it exclusively (thanks largely to the great import features).
I would love to see LaterLoop also offer an offline reading client, or even an API for getting at the service in writing my *own* offline client.
"LaterLoop has a desktop version that allows you to view saved websites offline, and the mobile version grants you mobile access to your saved websites."
I am using the offline mode for the first time and after downloading and extracting the ZIP file, a folder called "lars" remains. This is nice, because it reminds my of my first name, but I think a name like read_me_later_May_29 would be cooler, because I could easily identify the folder in the mess called download folder.
