Me: *writes 40 posts explaining what Orrery is* also me: *never lets anyone see it* Fixed. There's a demo on the landing page now. No account needed, just poke around orrery.ink #buildinpublic #WritingCommunity #BookSky #webcomic #webtoon #IndieAuthor #AmWriting #solodev

The Orrery landing page on a dark starfield background, with planets orbiting on the right. A small header reads "A home for fiction in every form." Below it, "Orrery" in large lavender italic script, with "for writers, artists, and readers." A beta note says: "Orrery is still being built. Everything here works, and more of it arrives every week. Open to everyone, no invite needed. Payments are not switched on yet." The tagline reads: "From a blank page to a published series, every genre and every format has a place here." Three buttons at the bottom: "Create your account," "Try the Orrery demo," and "See what's inside."

Had my first legal meeting for Orrery today and the opening question was "what webtoons do you read?" 😅 reader, i froze. there are too many. but they got it. the content policies, the creator-first model, all of it. december can't come fast enough #buildinpublic #solodev #indieauthor

Screenshot of Orrery's "What Readers Crave" widget on a dark starfield background, with an Edit link in the top corner.
