Users cannot migrate links to browsers or bookmark managers - CSV format is incompatible with standard import tools.

Implementation

Core Export

  • HtmlWriter: Generates Netscape bookmark format (universal browser standard)
    • Tags → folders with proper hierarchy
    • Metadata preserved: timestamps, favorites, notes
    • HTML escaping on all user content (URLs, names, notes, tag names)

Integration

  • ExportRepository.exportToHtml() - mirrors CSV export pattern
  • AccountViewModel.exportHtmlData() - wires UI → repository
  • BackupScreen: "Export to HTML" button + file picker (text/html)

Example Output

<!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1>
<DL><p>
    <DT><H3>Development</H3>
    <DL><p>
        <DT><A HREF="https://github.com" ADD_DATE="1704110400" TAGS="dev, code">GitHub</A>
        <DD>My notes here
    </DL><p>

Compatible with Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Safari import flows.

Tests

7 unit tests covering format generation, HTML escaping (including XSS vectors in tag names), and edge cases.

Additional

Fixed AGP version 8.11.1 → 8.7.1 (8.11.1 does not exist in Maven repositories).
