+unsorted list of things that would be nice to have
+
+* *make a make*file in order to variabilize language in add.sh prompts
+  and make overall config easier
+* pin links
+    → add an optional boolean to the records implictly false if absent.
+    if true, the link sits on top of the pile
+* search select tags for filtering
+    → tags inside \<nav> would be \<button>s instead of \<p>s and filter
+    the links accordingly 
+* a better way to capture url 
+    → something that grabs current page to clipboard
+* hardcode bookmark ids in awk rather than css so that ids are
+  persistant and don't slide if a link is removed
+    → add.sh id++
+* make other ways to edit and generate bookmarks if dmenu is too much of
+  a struggle to install.
+* plug other pages / tools to it - ie : 
+  * unicode dictionnary, css colors
+  * notes (report, files recently written)
+  * agenda ← big textual dreams about this one
+  * weather forecast -- in the form of a line in the bookmarks maybe ?? 
+  * documentations, html/css properties quickref
+  * images, something like signet.sh but for images and their metadata.
+    entries from an IMAGES file database would be attached to downloaded
+    images, the most recent ones cascading in a line as thumbnails
+    somewhere alongside links...
