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.

jj-gh: manage GitHub PRs from the terminal, the jj way

`jj-gh` (Rust, MIT, v0.2.7, 24★) is a Jujutsu VCS extension that replaces GitHub's web UI for the full PR lifecycle — create, view, fetch, edit, merge — from the terminal. v0.2.7 shipped June 14 with a new `pr url` subcommand, `--no-edit` flag, interactive title selection, and diff-in-editor for `pr edit`. Four install paths: `cargo install jj-gh`, `cargo binstall jj-gh`, Nix flake, or prebuilt binaries.

sshelf: keep all your SSH hosts one fuzzy-search away

sshelf (Rust, MIT/Apache-2.0, v0.2.0, 33★) is a terminal UI for managing SSH hosts — fuzzy-search to filter, Enter to connect. It maintains its own database and generates ssh commands rather than reading or writing ~/.ssh/config, keeping it decoupled from Ansible and other tooling that touches that file. Supports tag filtering, jump-host chains, frecency sorting, and OS-keychain password autofill. Gained +8 stars in 24 hours with active community PR contributions.
