The best way to get newsletters into Instapaper
The intake problem
Instapaper is an excellent reading app. The problem is getting the right articles there. If you use it seriously — custom fonts, offline sync, highlights — you already know how quickly a good reading list turns into a pile of things you saved and never came back to.
Newsletters are the main culprit. A single weekly newsletter can have ten articles. Save everything to Instapaper and the good stuff gets buried. Save nothing and you lose the articles that were actually worth reading. There's no good middle ground inside the email itself.
Triage before you save
Siftdeck sits between your newsletters and Instapaper. It fetches articles from your newsletter archive URLs and queues them up for a decision: save to Instapaper, mark as read, or skip. Each decision takes a second. The queue drains, and only the articles you've actively chosen reach your reading list.
The difference is meaningful. When everything in Instapaper has been deliberately saved, you trust the list. You open it with a coffee and work through it because you know each article is there for a reason.
Tags that map to your folders
When you save an article, you assign tags. Those tags map directly to your Instapaper folders — so articles land where you'd expect to find them, without any extra sorting after the fact.
Siftdeck suggests tags automatically based on the article URL. You confirm or change them in a second. It takes less time than typing a folder name manually in Instapaper's web clipper.
One setup, automatic from then on
Paste a newsletter archive URL once. Siftdeck detects the issue pattern and fetches new editions automatically as they're published. You don't manage a feed or a list of URLs — you add a source once and it stays current.
If the same article appears in two newsletters you follow, you see it once. Global deduplication means your triage queue stays clean even if your sources overlap.
