As developers, we often face challenges keeping our workspaces perfectly synchronized across devices and collaborators. Whether it’s dealing with slow cloud sync, merge conflicts, or latency issues, these problems can disrupt our workflow and productivity.
That’s why I’m excited to introduce OrBit, a local-first workspace synchronization engine designed to keep your development environments in sync with sub-millisecond latency — all while supporting offline work and peer-to-peer collaboration.
What is OrBit?
OrBit is built around a multi-layered architecture that combines the power of Rust, Tauri, and VS Code to deliver a seamless synchronization experience:
Rust-based local watcher daemon: Monitors file system changes with kernel-level events for ultra-low latency.
