I still don't get what beads needs a daemon for, or a db. After a while of using 'bd --no-daemon --no-db' I was sick of it and switched to beans and my agents seem to be able to make use of it much better, on the one hand its directly editable by them as its just markdown, on the other hand the CLI still gives them structure and makes the thing queryable
Steve runs beads across like 100 coding environments simultaneously. So, you need some sort of coordination, whether that's your db or a daemon. Realistically with 100 simultaneous connections, I would probably reach for both myself. I haven't tried beans, thanks for the reference.
yeah that does make sense that these choices are related to it being a big part of gastown, still I feel it would be much more sensible to make a different abstraction separating beads core features from the coordination layer
