User reviews

it logged me out on multiple occasions and after finally resetting my password, everything i've archived disappeared

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.

I was curious to see what this Are.na is, but so far the experience has not really worked for me. I have not been able to log in to use the extension, though I am logged in with my browser. Tried to fix this for a while, but got interrupted by reminders to subscribe to the Pro plan with a "special prize". I'll pass this chance now, and get back later.
