A Netscape-compatible bookmarks file (at least the one produced by Pinboard) has the timestamp of the bookmark, tags, title, and a description:

<!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<TITLE>Pinboard Bookmarks</TITLE>
<H1>Bookmarks</H1>
<DL><p>

It would be nice for Hoarder to at least retain the date and tags, but ideally also the title and description.

I'd like to import several thousand bookmarks, but I don't want it to show them all as having a date of today 😄

That's actually a very good point. I think I can get it done soon.

The description will be tricky though because Hoarder will re-crawl those links and will end up overriding their description with what it's going to extract itself.
