Give your questions
gravity.
Orbit is where you define the 9 open questions directing your life — and find the people wrestling with the same ones. Connection starts at alignment, not job titles.
9 questions · Public · Find your people
Three steps. No small talk.
Write your 9 questions
Three fundamental ones you're sitting with long-term. Three mid-range about your year. Three immediate — this week. The constraint forces clarity.
Share your orbit
Your questions live at onorbit.co/yourname. Scannable QR, shareable link, embeddable widget. Visible signal replaces silent curiosity.
Find your people
Orbit shows you how aligned you are with anyone — at a glance. Skip "what do you do?" Start with "you're 73% aligned — let's talk."
What if conversation started at 73% aligned?
Instead of "what do you do?" — you'd already know you're wrestling with similar things.

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.'
Stars — Where Orbits Converge
Communities should form around the questions you're sitting with, not the badges you wear.
A Star is a gravitational center — anyone can create one for a conference, a cohort, a family, a movement. Members see each other's Orbitals and their alignment at a glance.
Shared Gravity
Share a QR code at an event, invite specific emails, or drop a link in a group chat. Visitors see their match % with the Star's scope and its members the moment they land. You skip the small talk; the alignment is already visible.
Use case: A retreat organizer creates a Star, puts a QR on every badge. By day two, attendees know who's exploring the same question they are — without a single awkward "what do you do?"

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.
You don't have to figure this out alone.
