Orbits is now live — I built it after failing 2 startups because I couldn't figure out distribution.

Orbits is finally live.

This one is a little personal because the idea came from failing at two startups before this.

Both times, I could build the product.

Getting people to actually find it, try it, and keep coming back was a completely different problem.

I spent way too much time thinking that if I built something useful, users would eventually come.

They didn't.

And I realized distribution isn't something you can just figure out after the product is finished. It needs to be part of the process from day one.

So I started building Orbits around that exact problem.

The idea is simple:

You build the product. Orbits helps you get it in front of people.

It can help with things like:

  • Creating content for your startup

  • Turning that content into visuals

  • Publishing across social platforms

  • Finding relevant conversations on places like Reddit and X where your potential users are already talking about the problem

  • Joining those conversations instead of just blasting out ads

  • Creating and managing paid campaigns

  • Learning from what's actually working and doubling down on it

The goal isn't to give founders another marketing dashboard to babysit.

It's to make distribution something you can actually keep running while you're busy building the product.

It's live now, and this is still the MVP. There are a lot more advanced features I want to add as we learn what actually helps founders get traction.

If you're building a SaaS or indie product and distribution has been one of your biggest headaches, I'd love for you to try it and tell me where it falls short.

And if you've struggled with distribution before, I'd genuinely love to hear what happened. That's probably more valuable to me right now than another feature request.
