Hi, I am one of the developers. Yes, we got crushed for a bit under heavy HN traffic. We are back up now. Sorry for the blip in service.

seems to be "Retrieving your reading list..." indefinitely...

IIRC, this was actually launched a while back but I think it keeps going under when, say, it gets posted to HN and the servers get crushed. So maybe try tomorrow.

Do you have adblock? Disabling that fixed it for me.

Same issue and I don't have adblock.

chrome error: Cannot read property '0' of undefined

firefox error: v.tweets is undefined

Ditto. Line 28 in links.js:

var title = v["tweets"][0].entities.urls[0].display_url;

stuck on retrieving reading list for me in two different vanilla browsers.

enabling or disabling adblock should not have any impact. We were just under heavy load causing the app to slow down significantly.

Nice experiment, I will try to use it.

But I usually save interesting links to favourites. Please consider to add favourites to selection of lists.

Also, Vellum does not support cyrillic at all, even if it's in utf-8.

Launched in Apr http://blog.nytlabs.com/2014/04/25/vellum-a-reading-layer-fo...

Five minutes later it's still retrieving my reading list (tried with and without AdBlock). I'm very happy using Nuzzel, which seem to do the exact same thing.

Does anyone know how this works with the paywall?

This parses twitter, so the paywall is unaffected?

it works outside the NYT paywall
