CASE STUDY — 2023
Orbit — Project Management
2.1s
Core Web Vitals
Orbit is project management stripped of the bloat. Built specifically for high-velocity engineering teams, Orbit prioritizes speed, keyboard shortcuts, and deep Git integration. We engineered a web experience that feels like a desktop application.
The Challenge
- Eliminating UI lag in complex project boards with 500+ tasks.
- Designing a keyboard-only navigation system for power users.
- Implementing a robust offline-sync engine for distributed teams.
The Solution
- Utilized virtualization and Canvas-based rendering for large boards.
- Created a command-palette-first navigation architecture.
- Engineered a conflict-resolution system using CRDTs for real-time collaboration.
The Measurable Results
- Achieved sub-2s load time on even the most complex project boards.
- Onboarded 150+ Y-Combinator startups in the first 6 months.
- Reduced team-wide project coordination meetings by 40%.
