This is really important yes!

Indeed. This kind of tool is mostly limited to hackers, and it is not a big enough market to create a business model I suppose.

This would have to be done for the love of open-source :-)

There's an option to filter the print output. But yes, currently the data is stored in SQLite only.

Yes, buku doesn't intend to be a commercial utility. I use bookmarks as a context pointer for everything I do. So I wrote buku. But it's written as a library so other projects can use it.
