What Orbit does

Orbit is a community CRM for building relationships with community members, tracking activity, and measuring return on investment. Named features include automated reports, automatically generated member profiles, tags, filters, and search. Content tracking covers tweets, blogs, and DEV posts from a community. Integrations include GitHub, Twitter, and DEV, and an API lets users create members, add tags, edit notes, and save custom activities. Browser extensions let users clip content to Orbit and view member data. The product is aimed at DevRel and community teams and at open source maintainers, who can use a free plan. The page does not state general pricing. The product is in early access, and the Orbit Model, an open source community framework, underpins it.
