bmm: the Rust TUI bookmark manager built as a faster buku

bmm (dhth/bmm) is a 229★ MIT-licensed Rust TUI bookmark manager backed by SQLite and built on ratatui. Dhruv Thakur wrote it to replace buku after years of accumulated bookmarks caused performance degradation — the author benchmarks search at roughly 20× faster. Three install paths (Homebrew, cargo, prebuilt binaries for macOS/Linux). The ratatui maintainer Orhun Parmaksız publicly switched to it on release day. Main caveat: 14-month gap between feature releases; project is in slow maintenance mode but fully functional.
