Orbit 1.0 — local project workspace

The first stable release of Orbit. Scan a projects directory, detect the technologies in every project, group workspaces, and open anything in your editor, terminal, or file manager — all offline.

Highlights

  • Automatic project discovery across your projects directory
  • Data-driven technology detection with real brand logos
  • Monorepo and multi-package workspace awareness
  • Overview, Projects, Workspaces, Technologies, Favorites, and Settings views
  • Quick actions to open projects in editors, terminals, and file managers
  • Configurable projects directory and editor/terminal preferences
  • A secure Electron architecture with a narrow preload bridge

Changelog

  • addedWorkspace detection from the `workspaces` field, grouping member packages under their closest workspace root.
  • addedBundled Devicon and Simple Icons logos so every technology renders fully offline.

  • addedQuick actions to open a project — or a whole workspace root — in an external editor, open a terminal at its path, reveal it in the file manager, or copy its path.
  • addedConfigurable projects directory — choose the folder Orbit scans from Settings, persisted across restarts with Default, Custom, and Unavailable states.
  • addedA Settings page with General (projects directory, re-scan, dark-only theme), Applications (editor and terminal), and About sections.
