(Orbit author here) Wozniak is the pioneer, and like all in this space, we're heavily inspired by his work. Orbit is a vehicle for exploring some different ideas in this space. For instance, we're looking at how spaced repetition might be woven into a written form, like a book, so that authors can facilitate readers internalizing ideas deeply with relatively little extra effort. (see https://quantum.country for an example)

Are you familiar with Niklas Luhmann’s “zettelkasten” methods? Seems like there might be some fertile ground at the intersection of these two ideas...

Andy (the Orbit author) has his own very interesting Zettelkasten-like set of public notes. In this page, for example, he compares/contrasts his "Evergreen note" approach to a Zettles in a Zettlekasten: https://notes.andymatuschak.org/z4AX7pHAu5uUfmrq4K4zig9x8jmm...
Additionally, his system does have spaced repetition built-in, too:
"I’ve embedded a Spaced repetition memory system into my notes: The mnemonic medium can be extended to one’s personal notes. This has substantially changed the medium, but in ways I don’t yet understand very well."
I do not believe he has open-sourced his note taking system, but it is fun to browse around in; he presents a lot of interesting ideas, particularly if you're into this space.
