except for the the exported pdf and ad removal and git you've basically described Pinboard.in I'm pretty sure it searches the content not just the title, tags, and comment you left. It saves a copy of the page so that the site disappearing doesn't mean you've lost the info. It's not downloadable but i don't know why i'd want to backup their backup anyway. It suggests tags / keywords (probably by harvesting the plethora of other people bookmarking things) .

and it's got an API so you could make a command line client.

Ads removal and "git/simple file structure" are mandatory features for me (PDF export is optional though).

But first and foremost, it should be an open-source tool, I forgot to mention it. I don't want to be stuck because (as already said) a company/website closes. Yes backups are possible, but when the tool is gone, it's gone, and backups are not really useful. People will have to spend days trying out to figure a new tool and how to import existing data. Open-source protect from such kind of issues.

I don't say this tool is bad, it is probably really nice for some people. But at least for me it does not fulfill my wills/needs.

The thing is, Pinboard can decide to just shut down and there it goes all your saved webpages. Besides, if you want to save the webpages and have full text search, you have to pay the premium package every year forever.

a) https://pinboard.in/settings/backup

b) Do you seriously not consider 25$ per year reasonable for such a useful service?*

* I would pay that just to read maciej's fantastic presentations.
