awbeads

A spatial canvas for a page — arrange things, connect them, and keep the arrangement.

The Aither World is an operating system for agents — a Linux you can hand to one, the runtimes it works in, and the tools it works with. awbeads is one of its 71 bricks — each installs on its own, runs offline, and needs no account. 5 more are in development and 15 are planned.

The problem

Every product eventually grows a screen where things are placed rather than listed — a board, a map, a graph of what connects to what. That screen is almost always re-implemented per product, and the arrangement lives in component state, so it dies on reload and cannot be exported, reviewed, or moved to another surface. Measured on this tree 2026-08-24, the same hand-vendored tarball appears in three separate product frontends because there was no registered brick to depend on.

instead of trusting

that a layout your users built survives the next deploy

you check

the arrangement as data you can read back, diff, and hand to another surface

Adopt it

git clone https://github.com/Aitherium/awbeads

Drop a canvas into one page, arrange two things on it, reload, and find them where you left them.

Pairs with

awkitawshawnboard

Pairing is composition, never dependency — awbeads installs and runs on its own.

The rest of the Aither World

Every brick below is live, drawn from that repository's own published manifest.
