Instapaper was created by Marco Arment in 2008, sold to betaworks in 2013, got (bought by Pinterest) in 2016, then became independent again in 2018 and still is.
Issues
Export lacks date added
When you export bookmarks from your Instapaper queue, it doesn't provide the date-time that you added them to Instapaper.

@instapaper Feature request: please add (bookmark created_at) datetime to the exports. <3

@instapaperhelp Also, neither the HTML nor CSV contains timestamps of when the entry was created. Please add that (as ISO 8601 preferably).
