Download Arctic on the AppStore!

I am thrilled to announce that Arctic is now available on the AppStore! Looking back, it's amazing to see how much progress Arctic has made in the last six months. Initially, I began working on Arctic as a personal project to fill the void after leaving Reddit during the API fiasco. I had no intention of releasing it publicly. Now, I have a fully-featured Lemmy client, a fantastic group of beta testers on TestFlight, and an official release on the AppStore.

However, the journey isn't over yet. I have many exciting plans for Arctic, and this is just a significant milestone. Going forward, I plan to release more targeted updates on TestFlight and create a public roadmap for AppStore releases.

I would like to thank everyone who was involved with Arctic's TestFlight for all the valuable feedback and suggestions that have helped shape Arctic!

I had the same thought, unfortunately the arctic community is not very big at the moment, so I’ve been waiting to grow it a bit before doing that.

I’ve been thinking about this logo thing over night. The Lights out icon you made for the app as actually super powerful! 3 dots, 2 sets of whiskers and you get immediately what it is. It’s ultra simple and yet easy to identify. You could make your main logo from that. Doing variations on colors and so on. You. An even reduce or even more to 3 dots in that triangular pattern, it doesn’t need to be representing an animal, your app is called Arctic, after all, which doesn’t have to be connected to the rodent image to work. You already have a strong logo!

I like the idea. I feel that it would need a bit more to be used as branding for Arctic. The three dots on their own are not all that recognizable. I think they need a bit more to offer context as to what they represent, and to fill the blank space between. I am definitely a fan of the simplicity, and abstract idea though.

I may play around with that and see what I can come 7p with.
