[Feature request] Netscape HTML format import/export

[vk2r]

Hi there !
I've been using Linkding (another bookmarking application) for a while and I've found that Hoarder has what Linkding lacks, however I've run into a problem.

It happens that for both importing and exporting, Linkding takes the Netscape HTML Format and not only Linkding, but other applications too.

I would like to know if it is possible to do this implementation, as it would substantially improve the way bookmarks can be managed in the application.

Hello, I'm glad that you found in Hoarder what you're lacking!

I wonder if the importing docs here for chrome: https://docs.hoarder.app/import works for the linkding export. I'm currently on the phone and quick googling shows that it might. But will check when I'm on the laptop.

if it's the same, I'll add official support to it in the CLI :)

Ok, I checked the netscape format and it's also what chrome uses. So the wiki page I shared should work for you, but I'm also planning to add support for it in the CLIs given that it's a common format :)

Since the CLI requires you to do quite a few manual steps, I created a PR to allow importing bookmarks file directly in the UI. Worked just fine for my chrome bookmarks. It is just extracting URLs using regex, so I don't expect that it does not work with your linkding export, but I don't have access to that, so I can't verify.

@kamtschatka added support for this and it's currently already released. Just drag and drop the html file and it'll get parsed and the bookmarks will get added!
