Explore Better v0.2.1 gives the application a sharper identity that matches the website and makes the Windows app recognizable even at taskbar and favicon scale.
What's new
- Replaced the detailed legacy icon with a geometric EB dual-pane monogram in Explore Better's ink, paper, acid, and teal palette.
- Applied one generated brand system across the website, desktop header, executable, installer, favicons, README, and MCPB.
- Added the official MCP Registry distribution, standalone Windows MCPB, and Cursor setup alongside Codex, Claude Desktop, and VS Code.
- Repositioned the website around a shared human-and-AI file workspace with measured MCP comparison evidence.
- Preserved timestamps for identical native sidecar builds so release freshness checks do not report false failures.
Verification
- Windows CI, security boundary, transactional operations, native helper, terminal, MCP value, MCPB, SEO, and responsive layout checks passed.
- Release integrity: 7 pass, 0 warnings, 0 failures.
- The installer and checksum set were built and attested by GitHub Actions.
