orbit.social is the anti-CRM for relationships: a small social universe around the people closest to you, with prompts for drift, private moments, gentle gatherings, and relationship memory that stays yours.
- Live orbit graph for the fifteen people closest to you.
- Pulse turns re-mapping into a light monthly check-in.
- Moments captures what mattered without posting, scoring, or selling it.
- Gather, People, Conversations, and Home surfaces are mapped in the web handoff.
Public interface notes
Open Graph is a public share layer
For share.orbit.social, Open Graph describes the public share page itself, not the underlying relationship. An Orbit invite or public page should resolve to one stable canonical URL that returns plain server HTML with standard preview tags in the first response.
- Only public-safe data belongs in preview HTML: title, description, canonical URL, image, and image alt text.
- The preview URL, browser URL, future ActivityPub object URL, and export reference should all point to the same stable page.
- Preview images should be real 1200 x 630-ish images with Orbit branding, the public title, date, and a soft visual, avoiding person names unless the page already reveals them.
- Use boring standard metadata: website for invites and public pages, article for public essays, plus Twitter summary_large_image tags for older crawlers.
- Crawlers should not need auth, cookies, redirects that obscure the canonical URL, or JavaScript-rendered metadata.
- Cache deliberately because link-preview crawlers may hold on to old titles and images after a URL is shared.
