Description
Beads tables (Steve Yegge's) for issue tracking. Can view git trees, terminals, issue tables, notes, and files all on one screen. Can connect multiple machines via private network (like tailscale)I had this issue where i really did not like the when i had many terminals open at the same time - when you try to code with 6+ agents at the same time, across, say, 3 projects, you get huge context fragmentation. I am a visual person, and its way easier for me to remember where things are if I placed them there - I build this 2D canvas for myself initially and then decided to open-source - the main goal there is to let me (or the user) to place the terminals, github trees (to track agent's progress across branches on different repos), beads issues tables across many machines all on the same screen. Most important note, once again, is since its a 2D canvas, it feels more like a citybuilder where i I decide where to put stuff and thus remember exactly where what is running. It boosts my efficiency by couple pp at the very least (anecdotal, can be placebo!!);I also ended up using it nearly daily for couple months now... My friend, who helps with dev, and I had to focus on other things (life) but now we are kinda coming back to the app to implement coworking feature.

Could you build this?
Yes It is an Electron or Web-based workspace layout combining terminal emulators (xterm.js), Git status viewers, and custom grid/table UI for task tracking.
