Instapaper, a popular app that allows user to save webpages for reading offline on mobile devices, has announced the release of a new service called Instapaper Daily. The new service is a site that compiles and publishes the most popular stories that people save on Instapaper.

For those unfamiliar with how Instapaper works, it is basically an app that allows users to save webpages and online articles for later reading. The app is very similar to Pocket. Unlike Pocket, however, Instapaper is much more streamlined with a simpler and less complicated UI. The app also allows users to add and use folders to make sorting saved pages and articles by topic easier. In addition, saved content is presented in a clean and easy-to-read format. Unnecessary things such as ads and other elements are removed. However, photos and links can still be viewed.

Like Instapaper, Instapaper Daily is clean and elegant, albeit a bit sparse. Articles are presented with a headline, a photo, a short summary as well as a link to where the article came from. The site also integrates with Instapaper from the get-go with an easy to use "Read Later" button. In addition to this, users will also appreciate the inclusion of a convenient timeline at the bottom of the site. Users can jump to any day of the year with relative ease.

Given the number of news sites, blogs and magazine sites currently littering the Internet, finding specific articles from a few months back can be very difficult. In addition to this, the sheer number of news reports that were published this year and sorting through the topics make it a messy affair. Instapaper Daily can help users quickly find topics of interest without having to go through numerous searches on Google or Yahoo.

For those who prefer reading about specific topics without the inclusion of other unrelated articles, Instapaper Daily also offers sorting by topic. Users can choose to view articles related to politics, sports, technology or other popular topics. Given that 2013 is almost over, Instapaper Daily provides people with a great way to recap the significant events of the year.
