Pablo Stafforini (ID: 00000055d7944e5d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/30/2020 I appreciate the effort, but the extension failed to export my highlights. A message saying "Exporting highlights (Page x)" is displayed, with 'x' first increasing from 1 to 10, after which nothing happens. When the button is clicked again, the count goes from 11 to 20. I kept repeating the process until reaching 300 or so, and still no highlights were exported. I may have a few hundred items on Instapaper, with an average of 1 or 2 highlights per item, so I don't think my case is particularly unusual to explain the extension's strange behavior.
