I mentioned recently that I've been... busy. Lots of projects in the oven, in various stages of completeness. Well, I'm now pleased to introduce one I've worked very hard on, because it's so near-and-dear to my heart: beads_rust, or br for short. You can get it here: github.com/Dicklesworthst… It's a fast, minimal Rust port of @Steve_Yegge's amazing Beads project that I've built so many of my workflows around. Discovering Beads and seeing how well it worked together with my MCP Agent Mail was a truly transformative moment in my agent coding workflows and professional life more generally. This quickly also led to my beads_viewer (bv) project, which added another layer of analysis to beads that gives swarms of agents the insight into what beads they should work on next to de-bottleneck the development process and increase velocity. It's beads (and mail) all the way down. I'm very grateful for finding beads when I did and to Steve for making it. But at this point, my Agent Flywheel System is built around beads operating in a specific way. As Steve continues evolving beads toward GasTown and beyond, our use cases have naturally diverged. The hybrid SQLite + JSONL-git architecture that I built my tooling around (and independently mirrored in MCP Agent Mail) is being replaced with approaches better suited to Steve's vision. Rather than ask Steve to maintain a legacy mode for my niche use case, I created this Rust port that freezes the "classic beads" architecture I depend on. The command is br to distinguish it from the original bd. This isn't a criticism of beads; Steve's taking it in exciting directions. It's simply that my tooling needs a stable snapshot of the architecture I built around, and maintaining my own fork is the right solution for that. Steve has given his full endorsement of this project.
