Hello from the studio
Why we built straylightorbital.com — and what we'll write about here, separate from the founder's personal blog.
This is the studio’s writing surface. Devlogs, working notes, occasional manifestos when one is warranted, and a clean place to post things that belong to Straylight Orbital rather than to me personally.
For personal writing — software craft, indie stuff, the longer essays — keep visiting markstrayer.com. For studio-specific writing — what we’re shipping, why we’re shipping it the way we are, where we landed after a hard design call — this is the spot.
How to follow along
Add the RSS feed to whatever reader you already use. We won’t email you. There’s no newsletter modal coming. If you want quieter updates, that’s the same working philosophy applied to how we talk: the effort you’re already putting in is allowed to be fun, and the software’s job is to honor the work, not replace the judgment.
