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.
that a layout your users built survives the next deploy
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
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.
