Orbit – A CSS radial UI composer framework

In plain words

Orbit is a CSS framework for creating radial user interface designs. Launched in August 2024, it provides developers with tools to compose circular and radial UI layouts. The framework is designed for developers who need to build non-traditional interface layouts based on radial geometry rather than standard linear grids. Orbit simplifies the process of positioning elements in circular patterns and radial arrangements.

Compose menus, charts and instruments with HTML and CSS. Orbit keeps the geometry in place as your interface changes. Change the controls to see the layout update. Copy or download the HTML. Arrange actions around a focal point. Change the count, range and starting angle. Compose a chart from values. Following segments move when the data changes. Build indicators and instrument faces. Set the opening, fill and shape. Add gauges, clocks, knobs and radial menus with custom HTML elements.

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  InstantDB – A Modern Firebase▲1,145

  Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…
