Orbit has generated revenue every single day since launching I put it down to running a beta pre-launch for 3 months, working almost daily with test customers to make sure it’s something people would love regardless of where you’re at, speak with customers everyday

I've been wanting to work on something huge for WEEKS but fixing bugs comes first. I want to make the best product possible and that means ensuring it works flawlessly. plus it's nice to tell customers who report bugs to you that it's been fixed, they're on the journey with you too!

$242/mo is not too bad imo (personal + business) – what's your subscription spending? btw Orbit by @joshnewtonn.bsky.social is pretty cool ✨

recently, someone asked me, "How did you know to go all-in on Orbit?" It was a combination of financial signals, my intuition, and mostly the positive feedback from early customers, like this one:

Josh @joshnewtonn.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

when I left my job, friends suggested taking a week off to clear my mind but I was just so excited to continue building Orbit It gave me energy. Make something that excites you.

Josh @joshnewtonn.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

using your own software is a wild feeling

today is a day I've dreamed about for 12 years. It's the first day of being full-time on Orbit Nov 23 - I had the idea Jul 24 - Started building in my spare time Jan 25 - Launched, $5.5k revenue in the first week Mar 25 - Left my job and going all-In 🚀 I can't wait to show you what's coming

orbit customers send the best emails ❤️

I almost talked myself out of building @AppOrbit I was so embarrassed behind the idea before I’d ever started “No-one will like it” “It’s not novel” “It’s a boring idea” Thankfully I followed my curiosity and continued. I was too early and didn’t see it through far enough. I’m so glad I did.

I’ve started receiving funding and acquisition offers for Orbit 😅 guess I’m doing something right

Orbit doesn’t meet the bar of my design expectations But, that’s a good thing. If I made it perfect, I would have never launched. I can’t wait to level it up and show you where it’s going 🚀

Josh @joshnewtonn.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

hire people that have side-projects clear signs they’re a self-starter, crave learning and love to build

Josh @joshnewtonn.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

one of my favourite things about building Orbit is how so much complexity is hidden away, making it feel insanely simple
