This page displays an are.na user’s channels, grouped and categorized using their custom index key. Enter the link to any are.na profile or group above to view/link to their index.

The tool creates groups by matching special characters at the beginning of channel names, and then looks for a valid index keys in the profile bio and any linked blocks (can also be linked manually in the display options). A parseable key usually looks something like this:

. trains of thought
; notes and research
= channels driving a specific point of view
> areas of interest
… reading and research materials
› pattern recognition
_ design references & resources

You can also separate the keys and labels using " = " or ": ".
