If your changes don't seem to be saving or syncing, Orbit's offline write queue may need attention.
Check the sync indicator:
- Green dot on your avatar = connected and syncing
- No dot = not connected (Free tier or no session)
- Red dot = disconnected (network issue)
If writes are failing:
- Check your internet connection
- Look for a yellow "Failed Writes" banner at the top of the page
- If it appears, click "Retry" to re-push failed changes
- Go to Settings > Data to see sync status
How the write queue works:
- Changes save to localStorage instantly (always works)
- Orbit pushes changes to Supabase in the background
- If the push fails (offline, network error), it queues for retry
- The queue retries up to 5 times per change
- After 5 failures, changes are logged to the failed writes list
Nuclear option: If sync is stuck, try Settings > Data > "Force Sync" to re-push everything. This is safe — it only writes, never deletes.
