It's the most boring, but a text file with the urls and a title is probably your best option. Copy and paste to browser. Encrypt the file if you want extra security and use a good password/password manager. I understand it's not elegant UX/UI though.

a local html file.

Try Larder? https://larder.io/ Sadly, pinboard is basically a zombie these days.

I've been using Pinboard for seven years. Signed up for another 10 years last year - it just works. Explain what you mean by zombie ?

I've used Pinboard for years (10 year anniversary coming up in July 2023).

By "zombie", I mean that it continues to function, but it's a dead product.

Support is often non-existent, and there's been no enhancements for years. If I were looking for the same sort of product today, I'd steer clear of it in favor of something that seemed more like its operator cared.

https://histre.com/ It has a strong privacy policy, full API access to all your data, and the ability download your data as a zip file. When you delete something / delete your account, it is truly gone, not soft-deleted. It is really fast (no bloated SPAs) too. It can automatically import your bookmarks, and will make ongoing knowledge management, sharing etc seamless. The extensions are open source: https://histre.c…

According to the linked page, Histre is for “supercharging Teams with AI”. What does that even mean and what does it have to do with bookmark management?
