All the methods that need to append `add`, `delete`, `update` to the URI. Why aren't you just using HTTP methods for this? Why do I have to POST everything? Do you know what POST is supposed to be used for?
Because it's an RPC-based API?
This surprises me a bit: "All requests should be made via the POST method, and all parameters should be passed in the POST request-body and not in the query-string." So even typical GET are sent as POST (/api/1/bookmarks/list) Is there any reason to do that?
That it's RPC over HTTP, POSTing everything is the normal (and, really, proper) way to do RPC over HTTP.

It's provided as a `link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"` on the /archive page (or any other folder). Sadly less and less browsers display these (or even indicate there's one) so you'll have to dive into the JS console or page source to extract the URL. I don't think there's an easier way to get at the RSS feeds.
I love this! I feared that Instapaper development would stagnate after Marco sold it. Even though he said that they will develop a lot of new features, you know how it often times is when companies/apps get bought. But i'm happy to see quite the contrary! What i love about Instapaper is the fact, that it doesn't fuck around. It tries to be one thing and one great thing only. I don't want to see tweets, i don't want t…

Unfortunately "not stagnating" and "developing a lot of new features" these days usually means you will in fact soon start seeing tweets, related articles and what other people think besides your texts.
Which is a shame, because I too love the minimalistic approach of Instapaper.

It gets even better: > If the response is not valid JSON, it should be interpreted as an HTTP 503 "Service Temporarily Unavailable" error, and the request should be retried later. Why not just return 503?
