I kept needing animated orb visuals for apps and landing pages, they're everywhere lol.

So I built OrbStudio, a native SwiftUI Mac app where you design an orb live and export real code. The SwiftUI export is a single View with zero dependencies, same rendering approach the app itself uses. WebGL export is one self contained file, no bundler.

Happy to answer questions!
