Hi Mohamed,
could you add the import from Wallabag formats (xml, csv, json)? I attached examples of the exported data from Wallabag version 2.6.9.
wallabag_export.zip

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Hoarder users

Grab some Wallabag users

It looks like they imported a list of saved URLs. They say they lost tags. Presumably, they lost any page where the URL had changed or rotted away. For me, many of the items in my Wallabag library no longer exist on the Internet, so this sort of import would mean a huge loss.

this could be solved by a small script that fetches url, and if encounters a 404 or other errors tries to use waybackmachine for example. No?

Picking up stuff from waybackmachine or other archives would certainly be better than nothing and might make a nice user-facing option, but I personally have loads of things in Wallabag that never ended up there. I have no idea how unique my situation is, though.

Not sure if it's clear from this discussion, but check out the wallabag export data: they include full cached/saved article content. Also, the wallabag server may also have all the images, so if that's on you have a very durable saved copy. I'd love it if karakeep also got the images!
