Not sure why this and Quantum Country are on the front page today. They've both been around a long time.

I like Quantum Country (although for some reason I didn't finish it), and I like the idea of Orbit.

Are there other examples of things built with Orbit, or similar systems?

I really like the idea of generating learning tasks in context, that you can later practice at spaced repetitions. It's quite easy to get started: https://docs.withorbit.com/

But I am unaware of good alternatives. On GitHub you can find scripts for making Anki flashcards in-text, but that's impractical if you want some outreach
