💭What did you almost text me this week?
🍜Show me your last meal, no judgment
🔮One tiny prediction about next month
🗺️A place here you'd drag me to first

Every message starts with
"sorry, it's been ages."

That's the trap. Once a thread goes quiet, talking means catching up, summarising months at each other like a status report. You can do that for years and still not know what their Tuesday looked like. And the Tuesdays are where the friendship actually lives.

Six months without real contact is enough for a close friend to quietly drift a layer further out. Not because anyone stopped caring. Friendships just fade unless someone keeps investing.

I built Orbit after moving countries and quietly losing touch with almost everyone. It's brand new, so you'd genuinely be one of the first people in it. Khushwin, making Orbit Read why →
