Why Orbitals Work
Six features that transform how you attract solutions and build your future
The 9-Slot Constraint
You can't attract answers if you don't know the questions.
Forced Essentialism
The internet pushes you to consume everything. Orbit forces you to choose the vital few. By capping your capacity at 9 Orbitals, you are forced to ruthlessly prioritize what actually matters. You clear the mental clutter and signal—to yourself and the world—what is truly "Top of Mind."
Use case: Reviewing/updating your Orbitals quarterly becomes a strategic ritual.

Infinite Surface Area
Every Orbital is its own landing page—searchable, shareable, and embeddable.
Each one acts as a micro-magnet, pulling relevant people, resources, and opportunities to you—without you having to hunt for them.
Always Working
Your Orbitals work on your behalf long after you share them. Your question lives in the network, is indexed by Google, and can be embedded on your personal site. While you sleep, your Orbitals are increasing your chances of being discovered.
Use case: Each Orbital is indexed, shareable, and embeddable. Your Orbitals become SEO-optimized 'luck surface area.'
Increase Your Surface Area for Luck
A job title compresses your identity into a boring, single line of text. It tells the world what you did, not who you are.
Sharing your Orbitals expands your identity back into high-resolution. It acts as a beacon, dramatically increasing your "surface area" for serendipity.
Skip the Professional Small Talk
Suddenly, you aren't just "A Project Manager." You are the person obsessed with Generative UI Patterns, Roman Concrete, and Longevity Economics. You give others permission to skip the professional small talk and engage with the human side of your curiosity. It's a conversation starter for the connections you actually want to make.
Use case: A hiring manager Googles you and finds your Orbitals—instant differentiation.

Gravitational Sharing
A private question is a task. A public question is a magnet.
Every Orbital can be shared publicly with a single link, acting as a beacon for that specific topic.
Inbound Solutions
Stop "hunting" for information. When you share an active Orbital, you let the network do the work. You trigger the "I just saw something about this!" reflex in your friends and followers. Instead of spending hours searching for the needle in the haystack, the needle gets sent to your inbox.
Use case: A researcher working on longevity science finds your aging Orbital and reaches out to co-author a paper—collaboration you never would have found cold-searching.
Problem Resonance
Connection shouldn't be based on "mutual follows," but on "shared struggles."
The Orbit engine highlights other users who are maintaining Orbitals with significant overlap to yours.
High-Signal Connection
Orbit highlights the people who are trying to solve the exact same problems you are. You skip the small talk and the "networking" and jump straight to the people who hold the missing pieces of your puzzle. It's R&D, crowdsourced.
Use case: Discover someone with 87% orbital overlap working at your dream company—you reach out with context, not a cold pitch.

The "Open" Log
Resumes show what you did. Orbitals show what you will do.
Your active Orbitals create a public, evolving portfolio of your thinking and curiosity.
Proof of Curiosity
In the modern economy, your value isn't just your skills; it's your specific curiosity. An active Orbital acts as a "Proof of Work" for your mind. It shows employers, investors, and collaborators exactly how you think and what you are building, establishing authority before you've even reached the finish line.
Use case: A book editor discovers your Orbital on behavioral psychology and reaches out about turning your research into a manuscript—your questions become your credentials.
