I have been looking at this problem space, including beads recently.

I wasn't able to find something AI-native that supported subissues, and worked across projects. I require git worktrees on my programming work now, and I want it to be able to handle integration with systems like Linear or even GH issues (which was my preferred ticketing system before CLIs emerged)

The idea is in part, ~I have 15 minutes right now, what is the most important thing to put attention to? Be routed to the project and go immediately to work with a CLI.

I'm using Claude Code and codex for programming and administrative chores now. For example, managing the process of finding and selecting an arborist.

My main personal project, focuses on making Claude Code and Codex conversations useful (https://Contextify.sh). I use uses pure markdown (TODOS.md) for issue management and it is at its limit.

I'm less concerned about the DB's storage location. I don't think it needs to be stored with each project, but each project does need to be able to access it.

I suspect that I'll ultimately want to host it.
