Letterhead + Instapaper
Connect Instapaper to Letterhead via Zapier. Articles you save or like in Instapaper flow into your Letterhead curation pool automatically.
Better with Instapaper
The best curators read like it's their job. Now it pays like one.
Instapaper holds your reading; Letterhead turns the best of it into a newsletter people subscribe to.
Likes become links
Like an article in Instapaper and it's queued for your next edition.
Curate as you commute
Reading anywhere becomes newsletter prep — no separate curation session.
A pipeline, not a scramble
Your edition draws from a steadily filling pool instead of a last-minute hunt.
