Orbit – open-source design system

Well put.

I suspect it means anything related to the travel space. So: ticket website, travel recs, Airbnb clone, tour website, etc.

From the About page, it seems this is an open sourced UI library built by the developers of kiwi.com which apparently creates travel products (still unsure what that is). So the UI components are geared towards a travel product type of website.

So its a UI library, theres probably travel niche lingo and components in it.

I would assume a project somehow related to travel. Seems fairly self-explanatory, especially if you look at what it contains.

With the images of rockets, it made me think of outer space. Doubt that's really there target audience, but still rather confusing.

Some of the components are delightfully specific to the travel industry:

I viewed it in portrait on my phone and was surprised how usable it was. The default display mode isn’t great, but there’s tabs/nav at the bottom to let you see the component canvas or demo and then switch back to the component list.
