Orbit
Orbit is an experimental platform for publishing and engaging with small tasks repeatedly over time. In the short term, it s focused on supporting the mnemonic medium , a way of augmenting texts so that readers can easily remember all the key details.

Orbit is a (nascent) ecosystem. At its core are decentralized data structures defining tasks, review actions, and scheduling algorithms. Tasks can be ingested from around the web, via APIs or embedded iframes, or through various services running on your local computer. You can complete scheduled tasks in desktop, mobile, and web applications. A backend service syncs user data and orchestrates notifications.
