Description
I built Foolery because agentic coding was making me feel worse, not better. 12 tmux panes, 7 orphaned worktrees, Claude blowing context on micro-ideas I couldn't stop throwing at it.Foolery is a local web UI that sits on top of Beads (issue tracker). It gives you: - Dependency-aware wave planning (decompose work into parallelizable batches) - Built-in terminal to monitor agent runs live without leaving the app - Verification queue — every "done" beat flows here for you to approve or reject - Keyboard-first, no TUIInstall: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/acartine/foolery/main/scri... | bashI also wrote about why I built it: https://thecartine.substack.com/p/foolery-the-app

Could you build this?
Yes Foolery is a local web UI dashboard that visualizes issue dependencies and issues CLI commands to background processes (Claude Code / Beads), which fits standard web development patterns easily generated by an AI assistant.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a workflow automation tool for Real estate yet.
