A simple application to save notes and highlights from Instapaper.
The downloader checks for highlights and notes from bookmarks in all folders created by the user along with the standard archive and starred folders.
It then creates a folder called highlights. For each bookmark, it creates a Markdown file in highlights including the title of the bookmark, url reference and all the highlights and notes.
Lastly, it creates a saved_state.txt file with hash values for each bookmark which is computed from its URL, title, description, and reading progress. Bookmarks are not processed if the hashes haven't changed. So the application will download only incremental changes on subsequent runs.
