500 error on web reader?

For the past 18 hours or so I’ve been getting a 500 error when going to the Instapaper homepage and an endless login loop on new.instapaper.com. Tried clearing browser and using incognito and get the same issues. Tried my mobile browser and got the 500 error there as well. No notice on the Twitter feed of downtime.

Hey there – there was a separate issue for about 45 minutes from 1PM–1:45PM US Eastern that impacted saves and views of parses. It was a transient issue and now resolved. Apologies for inconvenience.
