Instapaper Greystyled

Do you remember Instapaper Threestyled? It was that great userscript by @elasticthreads I once talked about here. Well, since Marco Arment updated Instapaper’s web interface some weeks ago, that update broke the userstyle.

Fortunately, elasticthreads has been working on a completely new style for Instapaper, which is perfect both for browsers (in my case, Safari) and a Fluid app. It’s called Instapaper Greystyled, and you can download it here. (Fluid version)

Be sure to have Greasekit installed or the userstyle won’t work.

DoubleStory: Mailroom, Gmail at your Fingers. Review and Giveaway.

Like Mailplane for the Mac, Mailroom alleviates some of the pain of using a Gmail account on the iPhone or iPod Touch. Using a long, complex password I created in 1Password, it’s a pain in the butt to manually log into Gmail with my credentials each time. Especially when you have multiple accounts. While 1Password does make an iPhone app (that I do have), it’s still not a simple process to log in.

Mailroom allows me to save all of my Gmail credentials in the app, but what makes that different from Apple’s own mail? Federico and I have decided to team up for this review, so you’re going to get a little something special today - a MacStories double team if you will.

Ghostly, Mood Music Monotony

I’m a big fan of things like Last.FM, thesixtyone, and other services that can turn me to new music or help me get into (or out of) certain moods. Ghostly Discovery is a free application that allows me to get into the mood of things. Or at least tries to. On one hand it’s an application that I really want to love. On the other, it’s hard not to look past some obvious pitfalls.

Let’s take a look shall we?
