## What it is
A keyboard-driven terminal UI (TUI) for the Beads issue tracker, written in Go. It provides graph-aware views including dependency DAG visualization, kanban board, and insights like PageRank and critical path analysis, plus a robot-mode JSON API for scripting.

## Use cases
- visualize issue dependency graphs in the terminal
- manage issues on a kanban board from the CLI
- find critical path and cycles in my issue tracker
- rank issues by importance with PageRank
- script issue queries via a JSON API
- browse Beads issues with a fast keyboard-driven TUI

## When to choose
- you use the Beads issue tracker and want a rich terminal interface
- you need graph analysis (critical path, cycles, PageRank) over your issues
- you want a scriptable JSON interface to your issue data

## When to avoid
- you don't use the Beads issue tracker
- you need a web or GUI issue tracker front-end
- you use Jira, Linear, or GitHub Issues instead of Beads
