Why I built Orbit X

I make small apps and games on my own. For a while X was where they went to be ignored, until I worked out that the posts weren’t the problem. Showing up was.

The routine that started working (early replies, saying hi to new builders, a few honest posts a day) took me two hours a day across too many tabs. Search for rising posts. Check their age and views by hand. Write a reply. Go back to the scheduler. Check analytics somewhere else.

One place for the routine

So I built it into the tool I already used for my projects: a list of posts worth replying to, with drafts in my own voice, a scheduler, and analytics that told me what to change. Once it was working, it was clearly its own thing, so I split it out into Orbit X.

What I wanted it not to be

• Not a spam cannon. It never posts or replies by itself unless you turn an automation on, and daily limits keep things at a human pace
• Not an AI that writes for you. It drafts in your voice; you decide what goes out
• Not a dashboard of vanity numbers. Analytics should end with “do more of this”

Who it’s for

People building something in public, with a small account and a lot to say, who would rather spend 30 minutes a day on X than three hours. It costs $39 a month, which is less than the tools I was paying for before.

If you try it and something’s off, tell me. I read every report.
