Our Story
HandOrbit
Built by One.
Made for Everyone.
An independent project, built by one person for a more personal connection with local service providers.
Help an independent project grow. Support is not available yet — no payment is taken.
HandOrbit starts with a simple idea: behind every local business is a person. A name and a service category can help you search; a face, a story and examples of work can help you get to know someone.
Built independently by one person, the project brings that more human introduction to local connections—without promising the outcome of a service.
