Comments

Does every rational number in range (0,1) appear?

a(0) = 1 by convention.

Example

Sequence of rationals begins 1, 1/2, 1/3, 2/3, 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 1/7, 2/7, 3/7, 5/7, 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 5/8, 7/8, 1/11, 2/11, ...

Mathematica

nmax = 14;
b[1] = 1; F = {1};
For[n = 2, n <= nmax, n++,
For[k = b[n - 1] + 1, True, k++, Fk = Join[{k^2}, Table[b[i]*k, {i, 1, n - 1}]] // Union; If[Fk~Intersection~F == {}, b[n] = k; F = F~Union~Fk; Break[]]]];
Join[{1}, Table[b[k]/b[n], {n, 1, nmax}, {k, 1, n - 1}]] // Flatten // Denominator (* Jean-François Alcover, Aug 23 2022, after Robert Israel in A066720 *)
