It doesn't support more than one page. If you pull something up on the computer and decide you want to go outside and read/watch it on the iPad, you Tap2Tab it.
The difference between Tap2Tab & Instapaper is that it works for YouTube, Netflix, PDF documents, ect. There is no reformatting of content, it redirects you to the page just like a URL shortener.
I just got myself an iPad recently, and I really wanted to be able to send the page I was reading on my computer to the iPad. I didn't find anything that was easy and quick so I made it myself.
This is a "rough draft" of a web app. There are a few rough edges and browser quirks. I wanted to see if anyone else would use it. If so, I will put some more work in to cleaning it all up! Let me know what you think.
Also, @tansey you're right. It does look like we have the same idea going. I can honestly say I haven't seen thrsti before. I am sure we will find our separate paths, and I welcome the friendly competition =)
I think there is a ton of potential use cases. Eventually I want to give the users full control over the page style, or possible offer different page templates. This will allow anyone to publish a totally customizable webpage in minutes.
While there are no ads now, monetization will come from advertising in the future. Or, possibly a small charge per page to have advertisement removed. This could be purchasable by either the author, or a reader.
We'll see where it goes.
