Orbit

Every conversation orbits a planet: the camera dives through rings of message cards, answered cards fall into the planet as particles until inbox zero, and the rings tighten into the logo.

Deep space over a starfield, with a dark planet edged by a cool glowing rim and three tilted rings of floating tiles circling it, and a sunrise breaking over the curved limb. Five quick beats over 14.8 s at about 130 bpm: a dive through the rings with tiles whipping past, a low three-quarter on the turning rings, particles streaming down into the planet, the sunrise limb, then the rings tightening into one plane.

    THE IDEA — Orbit is an email + CRM inbox. Your threads are a little planet's worth of gravity:
    248 unread messages circle it in three orbits, one per kind of thread (LEADS · DEALS · SUPPORT).
    Answer one and it falls home into the planet as light; when the orbits are empty you are at
    inbox zero, and the three orbits tighten into the one dotted ring that is Orbit's O.

    WORLD — deep space. A dark navy planet (R 1000) dusted with teal points, back-lit by a teal
    directional so its limb glows; the limb itself is two additive tori laid on the tangent circle
    the lens sees (centre R²/D toward the camera, radius R·√(1 − R²/D²)). Three tilted orbits of
    message cards (A LEADS R 1450 × 26, B DEALS R 1750 × 30, C SUPPORT R 2050 × 34): each orbit is a
    g holding its tilt, a g spinning it on the WALL clock (A +6°/s, B −5°/s, C +4°/s, so the cuts
    are seamless), and a repeat of outward-facing glass cards (body, category avatar, name bar,
    subject bar). A shell of 320 tiny unlit star spheres 70–95 m out; a teal-white sun with an
    anamorphic flare.

    PALETTE — space #03060d · planet #081120 · glass card #16233a / #0e1726 · Orbit teal #2ee6d6
    (rim, brand, every action button) · deal gold #ffc857 · support periwinkle #9aa8ff · closed
    green #6ef2a4 · ink #eaf2ff · slate #8a9bb8. No red anywhere.

    LIGHT — tone_mapping None + film_grain output_transform=2 (UI hex prints as authored), bloom
    0.55–0.65, SSAA ×4, dof_pass=three on every chapter. Hemisphere 0.06–0.08, studio HDR 0.25–0.35,
    the teal rim 4–7, a faint cool key.

    SCREENS — orbit-inbox.screens.html (Tailwind only) → scripts/html-screens.mts → screens.json,
    pasted unchanged; only tracks (and the free panels' world size / place) added. Three message
    cards (or-card-a/b/c), the UNREAD read-out (or-count, stacked 248 / 37 / 0), the iPhone home at
    inbox zero with three notifications (ph-orbit).
