See [bukuserver page](https://github.com/jarun/buku/tree/master/bukuserver#readme) for config and screenshots.\n\nWhen I started writing it, I couldn\u0027t find a flexible command-line solution with a private, portable, merge-able database along with seamless GUI integration. Hence, `buku`.\n\n`buku` can import bookmarks from browser(s) or fetch the title, tags and description of a URL from the web. Use your favourite editor to add, compose and update boo",
