Smorgasbord
A browser UI for Gas Town and Beads
For people who don't want to use tmux.
How did I get here
I wrote Smorgasbord in a couple of days because I was using Claude Code with Gas Town and kept asking it the same things - what's the status, who has mail, send the mayor a message. A dashboard made more sense.
It's Gas Town easy mode. It's also a standalone Beads UI - if you just want a kanban board without the full Gas Town setup, it does that too.
