Are.na: Visual Idea Organization Platform

Scrape, curate and connect ideas with Are.na, a visual platform for organizing content across disciplines, creating channels, and sharing private or public collections.

What is Are.na?

Are.na is a visual platform for organizing and sharing ideas, links, images, documents, and other media. It allows users to create collections called "channels" to curate various content and media from across the web.

Channels on Are.na function similarly to mood boards, inspiration boards, or scrapbooks. They allow you to save media like links, photos, text snippets, PDFs, and more all in one place. You can add a title and description to further explain and contextualize the content in each channel.

One of the key features of Are.na is the ability to create connections across channels. If you find a link or image in one channel that also relates to another topic, you can easily add it to multiple channels to make those connections. This promotes idea generation across disciplines and subjects.

Are.na has a visual, grid-layout interface that allows you to arrange and organize the content within your channels. You can reorder, resize, and position items on an infinite canvas. It gives you a lot of flexibility and control over how you present and connect information.

Channels can be kept private for your own personal use, or made public and shared with the Are.na community. There is a thriving community of creatives sharing channels on everything from art and design to technology, cooking, gardening, and more niche subjects.

Overall, Are.na provides a versatile platform for organizing information and drawing connections across your interests and inspiration. The visual interface and ability to integrate various media makes it a useful tool for research, collaboration, and creativity.
