Does anyone know how this works with the paywall?

This parses twitter, so the paywall is unaffected?

Five minutes later it's still retrieving my reading list (tried with and without AdBlock). I'm very happy using Nuzzel, which seem to do the exact same thing.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Do you have adblock? Disabling that fixed it for me.

Same issue and I don't have adblock. chrome error: Cannot read property '0' of undefined firefox error: v.tweets is undefined

Ditto. Line 28 in links.js:

var title = v["tweets"][0].entities.urls[0].display_url;

Hi, I am one of the developers. Yes, we got crushed for a bit under heavy HN traffic. We are back up now. Sorry for the blip in service.

seems to be "Retrieving your reading list..." indefinitely...

enabling or disabling adblock should not have any impact. We were just under heavy load causing the app to slow down significantly.

Nice experiment, I will try to use it.

But I usually save interesting links to favourites. Please consider to add favourites to selection of lists.

Also, Vellum does not support cyrillic at all, even if it's in utf-8.
