- Creative teams building visual reference boards
- Worth noticing
- Boards can be arranged as a grid, sphere, cylinder, stack, or path, then sequenced as saved versions.
Field notes
The workflow begins with a browser context menu, whole-page or Are.na-channel import, or files from a computer; the extension is described as optional. Saved views become versions that can be placed on a timeline, while frozen share links can preserve selected versions with password and viewer controls. The page says colour is extracted from uploads; AI tags and descriptions are marked as coming soon.
