Since you asked about alternatives, you might be interested in trying my https://histre.com/

It is fast. It gives you bookmarks with notes, highlights, collections, publishing, and sharing. The browser extensions are open source. I’ve described additional features here: https://histre.com/features/

There is full api access and several integrations including Hacker News https://histre.com/integrations/ Your HN upvotes become bookmarks and you can share them if you want. I've published by Hacker News upvotes here https://histre.com/public/notebooks/o34gelgt/kirubakarans-ha... via Histre integration :-)

IFTTT integration lets you connect Histre to thousands of sources: https://ifttt.com/histre Zapier integration will go live in a week or so. Archiving and full text search will go live this month.

I'm building recommendations. The unique thing about these recommendations is that there is no conflict of interest like with Google, Amazon etc where they try to push their own agenda. These recommendations just work for you.

The "business model" is a simple $5/month with a liberal free plan. That's it.

You can import your Pinboard data into Histre to give it a try https://histre.com/integrations/pinboard/

I'd like a tool that (slowly) downloads a persons Pinboard archived data . ( Pinboard supposedly offers this service - but it does not work for me )
Yes Histre will import all your Pinboard bookmarks when you turn on the integration. Regarding web archives specifically: I'll look into that feature.
Thanks - have made a note to take a look again once archiving and full text is working (which are the key features for me).
Cool, I can email you when that feature is live, if you like. My email is hn@histre.com
