If you have the soul of an archivist, Are.na is a life-changing tool. If you're a Pinterest flaneur, you'll be more surprised on Are.na. If you're an API enthusiast and a believer in open data, Are.na agrees with you. The extension works 99% of the time, but can run into trouble with dark UX patterns to make it impossible to download images etc.
