# BeadBoard
|
|
|
|
**The Windows-native Control Center for [Beads](https://github.com/steveyegge/beads).**
|
|
|
|
BeadBoard is a high-performance local dashboard for managing your software development tasks. Built on the Beads protocol, it provides a unified, visualization-rich interface over your distributed project landscape.
|
|

|
|
## 🚀 Why BeadBoard?
|
|
Most task managers are siloes. BeadBoard is a lens over your source code.
|
|
- **Source of Truth**: Reads directly from `.beads/issues.jsonl` in your repo. No database sync skew.
|
|
- **Windows Optimized**: Built from the ground up to handle Windows paths, drive letters, and filesystem performance.
|
|
- **Zero Latency**: Optimistic UI updates make interactions feel instant.
|
|
|
|
## ✨ Core Features
|
|
|
|
### 1. Multi-Project Registry & Scanner
|
|
Stop context switching between repos.
|
|
- **Project Registry**: Persist your favorite project roots for one-click access.
|
|
- **Auto-Discovery**: Built-in filesystem scanner finds Bead-enabled projects across your drives.
|
|
- **Aggregate Mode**: View tasks from *all* registered projects in a single unified board.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Interactive Kanban Dashboard (`/`)
|
|
Manage your flow state.
|
|

|
|
- **Live Updates**: Boards refresh automatically when the underlying JSONL files change (e.g., via CLI).
|
|
- **Progressive Disclosure**: Task details, metadata, and relations are tucked away until you need them.
|
|
- **Smart Filtering**: Filter by priority, assignee, status, or full-text search across thousands of beads.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Dependency Graph Explorer (`/graph`)
|
|
Understand the "Why" and "What's Next".
|
|

|
|
- **Epic-Centric Layout**: Automatically groups tasks by Epic for logical clustering.
|
|
- **True DAG Visualization**: Uses Dagre layout engine to enforce a strict Left-to-Right dependency flow.
|
|
- *Left*: Incoming Blockers
|
|
- *Center*: Focus Task
|
|
- *Right*: Unlocks / Downstream
|
|
- **Focus Mode**: Minimizable dependency strip and deep-linking support for sharing exact views.
|
|
- **Smart Metadata**: See bead counts, priorities, and status health at a glance.
|
|
