Tags are a cool way to group stuff. But categories allow things to be put on a tree. I'll use just the plain simple file system for this. Each category is a directory containing one or more bookmarks file.

There's no point in having a clear command: if you want to delete all your bookmarks just erase the directory where they are saved. Also it is possible that a bad keystroke would end up in clearing all your hard work of years categorizing urls.

But I'd like to have a remove command which deletes a single URL. Or a bunch of them if a pattern is given. In the later case command will show what will be removed and require confirmation.

Current add command requires a tag and a description. Make all of that optional. The only required thing should be the URL.

Possible idea:

bm add [-d description] [-f] [-t tag [...]] [-c category [category/subcategory/.../]]

Where:

• -d description
  adds a description text
• -f
  fetches the title from the page
• -t tag
  adds a tag. More can be added
• -c category/subcategory
  puts the link under said category

Remove image generation. It's an unnecessary feature. I just want to keep a plain text bookmarks file.

Add a convenience file under .config/bmrc to provide for configuration. Create it on installation.

I don't like the chosen separator | (vertical bar). Switch to ; (semi-colon) so the file becomes a comma separated value file.

I see no point in having:

• stats | statistics
• list | ls
• open | open

Default action without any parameters should be to list. Any other action should require a command.

Create branch gh-pages and add a nice page with examples.

Modify search command to accept -c category so it searches just under a specific category tree.
